Babies born in Opelika and Auburn during the University's football season will now have some memorabilia to take home with them.
In a partnership with Auburn Athletics, East Alabama Medical Center will outfit all babies born between September and November with a commemorative, navy blue blanket sporting the AU and EAMC logos.
“We’re excited about this opportunity to work with Auburn Athletics to make the 2017 football season even more spirited,” said John Atkinson, EAMC’s director of PR and Marketing. “Plus, this will be a nice keepsake for families to have to remember the birth of their child this fall.”
EAMC realizes that not all babies are born to Auburn football fans, however.
“They are welcome to have a blanket as well,” Atkinson said. “Maybe they will change their allegiance, but if not they can simply re-gift it to an Auburn family.”
Chris Davis, Vice President and General Manager of Auburn Sports Properties said he is happy to partner with EAMC to provide blankets to the newest members of the Auburn family.
“We are always looking for new and unique ways to connect with Auburn fans, and through this new initiative with EAMC, we can provide them with a special memento during one of life’s most precious occasions.”
