As part of our “Powering the Pirates” partnership with ECU Athletics, GUC is a sponsor of the Kids Zone at ECU home football games. The Kids Zone is an area inside the stadium, close to Gate 2, where children can play various games. GUC employees staff a table in the Zone, handing out GUC-branded giveaways and talking with families. Thank you to Amanda Wall (Finance) and Steve Hawley (Pub Info) for representing us at the final two home games in November to finish up the season.
