The 89th running of the Carolina Cup this year will be presented by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC Health). The announcement was made during a press conference on Monday, Jan. 22, that featured Carolina Cup Racing Association (CCRA) Chairman Tom Mullikin, CCRA Executive Director Toby Edwards, MUSC Health officials, and representatives of Kershaw County Council at the National Steeplechase Museum at Springdale Racecourse.
“MUSC Health’s sponsorship of this grand national steeplechase event speaks to their commitment to community, legacy, and for all the same reasons that Mullikin Law sponsored the same for the past several years,” Mullikin. “MUSC’s ongoing, tangible support of the broader community it so ably serves is yet another reason and a reflection of why it is considered the best hospital system in South Carolina.”
Dr. Susan L. Johnson, director of Health Promotion at MUSC, agreed.
“We’re honored to continue this tradition of support where steeplechase racing converges with community fellowship,” Johnson said. “This year, MUSC Health together with (more than) 30,000 fans will celebrate camaraderie, support Camden’s welcoming community, and contribute to the health resource district of Kershaw County through the event’s proceeds.”
Carolina Cup officials applaud MUSC Health’s stepping up to the presenting sponsorship level.
“MUSC Health has been a race sponsor and health care provider for the races for several years,” CCRA Event Manager Hannah Marsh said. “MUSC Health is now increasing its role by becoming the presenting sponsor for the 2024 Carolina Cup Races.”
The 2024 Carolina Cup will be held Saturday, March 30, 2024. Tickets will go on sale Thursday.
