Students Flock to Promo Products at CollegeFest ²

The non-profit organization ³, Campus Philly ⁴ held its annual CollegeFest event at Dilworth Park ⁵. This event brings together college students ⁶ and businesses to share information for potential post-grad opportunities. More than 20 companies were in attendance with information packets, discounts, games, and of course: promo products.

In 2017, more than 5,000 students attended CollegeFest ⁷. The purpose of the event is to encourage students to remain in the Philly ⁸ area after they graduate. My favorite giveaway was of course the baseball caps handed out from the Philadelphia Phillies ⁹.
