The Scotsman Club Blitz, a groundbreaking raffle aimed at boosting engagement and financial support for the Scotsman Club, celebrated a highly successful inaugural season, raising more than $149,505 between April 1 and June 30.

The initiative, sponsored by Steve Crowe, a 1973 graduate and owner of Foothills Motorsports, helped drive the club’s annual giving past the $500,000 mark, achieving a record-breaking $586,000.

Crowe, a longtime supporter of Presbyterian College and the Scotsman Club, spearheaded the idea of the Blitz to encourage end-of-year contributions. His donation of a 2024 Polaris Ranger through Foothills Motorsports served as the raffle’s grand prize, drawing widespread participation and enthusiasm from alumni and supporters.

The highlight of the campaign came during halftime at PC’s first home football game on Sept. 14, when the winner was announced. Scotty, the college’s mascot, drove the Polaris Ranger onto the field, drawing cheers from the crowd before selecting the winning name: Gordon Glaspey, a 1983 graduate.

Gordon and his wife, Rose, have been steadfast contributors to PC over the years. While they were surprised by the win, Gordon said the true reward was seeing the impact of the Blitz on the Scotsman Club’s mission.

“Winning the Polaris Ranger was a huge surprise,” he said. “But what means the most to Rose and me is knowing how much this raffle has helped the Scotsman Club. It’s a testament to the strength of our PC family.”

The couple has since pledged to increase their support in recognition of Crowe’s generosity and the Scotsman Club community’s commitment to student-athletes.

With its resounding success, the Scotsman Club Blitz is poised to become an annual tradition, uniting alumni, fans, and friends in their shared dedication to Presbyterian College athletics.
