Luray Peanut Co. brings boiled peanuts and community support for youth football initiatives to Jacksonville Jaguars home games with the Luray Peanut Pickoff Program!
Luray Peanut Co., a boiled peanut company with a mighty vision, is kicking off its inaugural year by officially joining the Jacksonville Jaguars roster of sponsors for the 2022 NFL season. Fans will be able to enjoy the Original Salted and Cajun boiled peanuts at TIAA Bank Field concessions stands this season. Jaguars cornerback and avid lover of boiled peanuts Shaquill Griffin will serve as the official spokesman for the partnership.
A champion of community youth sports, Luray Peanut Company has partnered with the Jaguars to kick off the Luray Peanut Pickoff Program as part of the sponsorship. Each time the Jaguars intercept a pass at a home game this year, Luray Peanut Co. and the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation will donate to youth football initiatives throughout the Jacksonville area community.
โIโm very motivated to give back, so we have to get these interceptions so we can get these donations going!โ said Griffin. โItโs not easy being vegan, so itโs great to have Luray boiled peanuts to get me ready for practice and game day.โ
Griffin has been a long-time supporter of the vegan diet and avidly loves boiled peanuts as a source of plant-based protein throughout his NFL career. The boiled peanut is a superfood that is rich in nutrients, contains all 20 essential amino acids, and has 40 percent fewer calories than its roasted counterpart.
โWe are thrilled to announce this partnership with the Jaguars and are humbled by the level of support that the team and Shaq have given the Peanut Pickoff Program,โ stated CEO Lauren Marcinkoski. โBoth of my sons are avid football players and youth football is near and dear to our hearts. Every day I witness the growth and character that this amazing sport develops in children, and we are dedicated to helping communities in Jacksonville and throughout the Southeast support their youth. We owe a huge thank you to the Jaguars for being the first stadium to promote the program and look forward to expanding into other communities as our company grows.โ
