Peach Bowl, Inc. to help fund Statewide COVID-19 Screening in Georgia

Peach Bowl, Inc. has teamed up with Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp to provide funding that will help make COVID-19 screenings available statewide during a critical time in the mitigation of the virus.  The Peach Bowl has provided $1.09 million in support of Gov. Kemp’s plan to scale testing statewide and provide virus screening for all Georgians through the AU Health ExpressCare app.  “I am honored to announce another partnership with the private sector that will enhance our current efforts to screen and test more Georgians. The Peach Bowl, college football’s most charitable bowl organization, announced today that it will donate over one million dollars to the Augusta University Health System to help scale the telemedicine screening app. This is an incredibly generous gift, and we thank them for their support in our fight against COVID-19. Peach Bowl, Inc. operates the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, and the organization has donated and committed more than $57 million in charity and scholarship to organizations in need. They created the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, and Peach Bowl proudly serves Atlanta’s Bowl game tradition since 1968. Peach Bowl joins The Augusta National, Taxslayer, and many more in supporting these efforts at Georgia’s health and sciences university. I want to personally thank my friend Gary Stokan and the Peach Bowl for helping us keep Georgians safe in our battle against COVID-19.”  The AU Health ExpressCare app allows people to be screened for the virus virtually, 24/7, with no appointment required and at no cost.  The app can be downloaded for free in the App Store and on Google Play.
