Cavs Championship Trophy Embarks on #AllForOhio Tour

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers were dishing out assists before either team even took the court at the Cintas Center on Wednesday.  Before their respective teams faced off in preseason action on the campus of Xavier University, volunteers from the two organizations spent the afternoon at the Freestore Foodbank, working with Feed the Children to provide food and hygiene products to local Cincinnatians.

Freestore Foodbank pre-selected 400 families in need, who each received a box of food and a box of basic essentials, as well as some fun Cavs and Pacers items.  Among those helping with the distribution were Cavs television sideline reporter Allie Clifton and radio broadcasters John Michael and Jim Chones.  They were joined by Pacers broadcasters Quinn Buckner, Chris Denari and Jeremiah Johnson, as well as former Indiana player Darnell Hillman.

As part of the NBA’s Hoops for Troops “Commitment to Service” initiative, local military personnel also volunteered to lend a helping hand.  The Cavs and Pacers were joined by members of the Ohio National Guard from Woodlawn (216 Engineers), Columbus (371st Sustainment Brigade) and Hamilton (2-107th Cavalry).  The guardsmen were also guests of the teams at the game Wednesday night.

The many youngsters passing through Freestore Foodbank were more than delighted by the shenanigans of Cavs mascot Sir C.C. and Pacers mascot Boomer.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have enlisted the help of some very recognizable friends in Cincinnati and Columbus to let fans in those important regional markets know that not only are the Cavs coming to town, but in Ohio, “We Are All Cavaliers!” The 2014-15 Cavaliers will hit the road in October for a #AllForOhio preseason tour to give fans around the Buckeye State a preview of the most talked about team in the NBA.

To get the word out, the Cavs, with an assist from the marketing folks at both Cintas Center in Cincinnati and the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, produced customized TV spots for each market. But they aren’t just any old “buy tickets now” spots.  They star some of the most recognizable leaders from each city claiming, “I am a Cavalier.”

In Columbus, the ad features Ohio State Head Football Coach Urban Meyer, Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith, Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, Ohio State Men’s Head Basketball Coach Thad Matta, CBS Sports Basketball Analyst Clark Kellogg and Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman.

Cincinnati fans will see ESPN Analyst and Cincinnati resident Tom Jackson (video below), Xavier Men’s Head Basketball Coach Chris Mack, Cincinnati Radio Legend Bill Cunningham and Xavier X-Treme student fans express their support of the Wine &amp; Gold.

Rather than running generic TV spots in each market, the intent of the Cavs customized campaign is to unite the brand with each city beyond the two pre-season games to create a more inclusive bond with fans in those markets.

“Our regional fan base has always been supportive, and now with the excitement level for this new team at an all-time high, we want Cavs fans across the state to know we are all ONE in Cavs Nation,” said Kerry Bubolz, Cavaliers president of business operations. “These preseason games let everyone know #AllForOhio is real and something we never take for granted.”

Both Columbus and Cincinnati spots will run on local stations in their respective markets and will be promoted on Cavs.com and Cavaliers social networks.

The Cavs will tip-off at the Cintas Center (Xavier University) in Cincinnati against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, October 15th at 7:00 p.m. Five days later, the Cavs will head to the Schottenstein Center (The Ohio State University) to face the Chicago Bulls in Columbus on Monday, October 20th at 7:00 p.m.

Tickets for both games start at $15 and are on sale to the public beginning September 12th at 10:00 a.m. at the Cintas Center (Cincinnati) and Schottenstein Center (Columbus) box offices, via ticketmaster.com or Ticketmaster Charge-by-Phone at 1-800-745-3000.
