Testimonials

Bill Jones III, CEO, Sea Island Company
Sea Island Company is proud to be the corporate sponsor for the ninth annual Golden Isles Bowl Classic. We are pleased to join the hundreds of volunteers who have made this game a success for the Glynn County middle school athletic program over the past five years and look forward to continuing what has already become a great tradition.

This game is much more than an afternoon of great football. And there are many more winners than just the team with the highest score. The real winners are the young people in Glynn County middle schools who now have a chance to be part of a fine sports program.

I congratulate the two teams participating today on their selection to play in a game that is gaining in reputation among junior college bowls.

On behalf of the 1,700 employees of Sea Island Company, thank you for your support of this game and the Glynn County Middle School Athletic Department. And I challenge you to join us as we continue to build on the success of the Sea Island Company Golden Isles Bowl Classic and its support of our local students.

The great educational value in athletic competition is the opportunity to learn and practice goal-setting, teamwork, and fair play; to embrace the euphoria of collective and individual victories; and to benefit from the learning potential of defeat. Each is critical to personal and professional success in life.

In the end, participation in athletics teaches a young person that how a person masters his or her fate is more important than what that fate is. Our task as parents and educators is to assist them in learning the right lessons.
