Have you had the opportunity to attend
Dabo Swinney's All In Team Foundation Ladies Clinic? This event is a must-have on every Clemson Girl's bucket list.
The Ladies Clinic is a day-long event in Little John Colliseum and Death Valley, filled with everything a Clemson Girl could ask for - shopping, fashion show, comedy, female bonding, football players.... did we mention football players? :)
But the best part about this event is that it not only educates Clemson Girls on breast cancer detection, but also helps raise A LOT of money for breast cancer education and research. A worthy cause that is dear to Dabo's and his wife Kathleen's hearts.
This year's event is Saturday, July 20th. Registration starts at 7:15am and the day's events go until 4 p.m. The cost is only $60 (
$15 will be matched by Dabo and donated to breast cancer research) and includes a free lunch. The event is open to ladies of all ages. So bring your sisters, your mother, your daughters, your girlfriends -- it's a great way to spend a Saturday and probably some of the best $60 you will ever spend.
It's not too late...
you can still register! They are expecting record numbers in attendance this year, but they do have to limit attendance, so act fast before it books up.
Still not convinced? Ok... well let me count down the top 10 reasons you should attend...
Top 10 Reasons Clemson Girls
Should Attend Dabo's Ladies Clinic
10. You get an entire hour dedicated to shopping. Almost the entire wrap-around walkway of Little John is filled with tables - or mini-boutiques if you will - for your shopping pleasure. It's as if you're in a Clemson Mall - with every imaginable Clemson boutique, vendor, artist, crafter, etc. (
Tip: Bring cash, not all vendors accept credit cards.)
9. Attendees get to run down the hill in Death Valley at the end of the day. Then you pose for a group photo that you can purchase later.
8. You get to meet and greet with all of the coaches, coaches' wives, and some of the football players throughout the day. (
Tip: Bring a marker and something 'Clemson' for them to sign for you! If you want to meet Dabo, get a photo with him, and get his autograph, get to the clinic EARLY. The line to meet Dabo in the morning gets very looooooooong.)
Remember this guy? You never know whose autograph you might get!
7. You never know what to expect at the Ladies Clinic - from
dancing contests, visits from
the Governer of South Carolina, musical performances from football players (
did you know Tajh Boyd could rap? well...he tried), and other hilarious surprises... see below!
6. You get lots of free Clemson 'swag' - including a free Ladies Clinic t-shirt. The photo below is the shirt from the event in 2011. Look familiar? :)
5. Clemson Girl will be there selling all of our Clemson Girl 'swag'. We will have a table set up in the shopping section this year with lots of affordable goodies for you to purchase - including our decals (
perfect for car windows, the back of your laptop or iPad, coolers, etc.), koozies, and our "Kiss Me I'm a Clemson Girl" t-shirts! We will also be selling a brand new Clemson Girl shirt that you will definitely want for the first game to keep cool. We only have a limited number, so make sure you come find us before your size sells out! We can't wait to meet you.
4. You will get lots of Clemson gameday fashion inspiration. Clemson Girls come to the Ladies Clinic decked out in their Clemson gear. Whether it's cute gameday dresses or custom designed t-shirts just for the Ladies Clinic, it's fun to see what all the attendees are wearing. The Ladies Clinic even gives out an award for best designed t-shirt.
3.The.Weight.Room. You will hear the phrase, "What happens at the Ladies Clinic, stays at the Ladies Clinic". Well, that phrase probably stems from the weight room portion of the day. You get a special tour of the football players' weight room and a special...er...
introduction to some of our football players. It's really all in good fun, and it is fascinating to see how hard our players work to get in top shape for the games. And hey... who doesn't love a little eye candy?? :)
2. You learn more about breast cancer - how to detect it and how you can help others. But you also meet Clemson Girls who are currently affected by breast cancer or are survivors. There will be many tear jerking moments throughout the day like this one...
And the number one reason you should attend Dabo Swinney's All In Team Foundation Ladies Clinic is......
{drumroll}
1. You will be supporting a wonderful, wonderful cause! Each year, the Ladies Clinic raises more and more money for breast cancer research. Just your registration alone helps the cause -- but the day is filled with opportunities to do even more to help raise money. You leave the event not only having had a fabulous time, but you leave with a full heart knowing that Clemson Girls can come together, celebrate Clemson football, but also celebrate one another and support such a worthy cause that affects so many of us.
