The Effingham County CEO presents Hometown Showdown on March 1st. It’s going to be a night full of excitement, laughs, and unforgettable moments! Hosted by the dynamic duo of Greg Sapp and LA comedian Avery Brooks, this thrilling competition will feature eight teams of local businesses going head-to-head for bragging rights, a giant trophy, and 10% of the profits donated to the charity of the winner's choice. But that’s not all! One lucky audience member will win a $1,000 door prize!
This is a chance to support your community while enjoying an action-packed, fun-filled evening. Who will take home the trophy? Which team will make the biggest impact with their charity donation? And who will walk away with the cash?
Come out and support our Effingham County CEO students!
