The Charlotte Regional Sports Commission and the Charlotte Touchdown Club are pleased to announce The 7th Annual Carolina Panthers Countdown to Kickoff Luncheon.

Thank you to all of the Countdown to Kickoff Luncheon attendees who helped raise $50,000 to benefit The Classroom Central charity!

The Carolina Panthers Countdown to Kickoff Luncheon joins a long tradition of similar National Football League pre-season events. These events introduce new players to their fans, generate excitement for the upcoming season and raise charitable dollars in support of the team's community service projects.

Over 1,100 fans from around North and South Carolina joined us for the annual event in August 2007. The Countdown to Kickoff Luncheon has quickly become a fun and memorable tradition in the Carolinas!

The luncheon will be the team's first public event of the 2008 season, offering you and your guests the opportunity of a lifetime to have lunch with a Panther!
