The College of Charleston will host a Community Open House in the new Carolina First Arena. The event is free and open to all students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and the community.

Festivities include free food and beverages, door prizes and giveaways, a “meet and greet” with College of Charleston student-athletes and coaches, and games for the whole family.

Clyde the Cougar will be on hand to assist three lucky guests who will each take a half-court shot for a chance to win $5,000! One name will be drawn at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. from guests who sign up at the door; a third name will be selected at 6 p.m. among those who register in advance via the College Calendar  (NOTE: Participants must be present to win).
