BOSTON, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Santander
Bank, N.A. today announced the launch of its second annual
"Santander Field Goal Challenge," a sweepstakes offering lucky
Eagles fans the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience and
prizes. The program was developed in partnership with the Eagles as
part of the Bank's team sponsorship.
Now through October 21, 2015,
Eagles fans can enter to win an opportunity to attempt a field goal
from the 20-yard line during halftime at the November 22nd home game against Tampa Bay. A successful conversion will net a
$10,000 prize. An additional
$10,000 will be donated to the
regional K-12 school of the winner's choice, courtesy of Santander,
the Official Bank of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fans can enter the "Santander Field Goal Challenge" by
participating in a daily online trivia game, featuring fun
questions about the Eagles, with one entrant selected per day
throughout the duration of the contest. All winners will be
eligible to participate in the "Santander Field Goal Challenge Try
Outs," where they can bring their football skills to the field.
The try out event will take place on November 5th at the NovaCare Complex,
the Eagles' training facility in Philadelphia. All daily trivia winners
will participate in a series of field goal attempts, guided by
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Cody
Parkey, until one finalist remains. The finalist will then
attempt a 30-yard field goal during halftime at the Eagles home
game. A successful field goal will earn the lucky winner and a
regional school of his or her choice $10,000 each, courtesy of Santander.
"We're always looking for meaningful ways to give back to the
community and the 'Santander Field Goal Challenge' is one example
of how we can help Eagles fans get excited about the team and the
much-anticipated football season," said Doug Kalish, Chief Marketing Officer at
Santander Bank. "By adding a new component to the program that will
provide funding to a local school, we're building upon our
commitment to supporting education and the academic success of
students."

Goal Challenge" by visiting www.philadelphiaeagles.com/santander
