Four-stop tour includes giveaway, fun events and product donations to combat on-campus food insecurity
AUSTIN, Minn. , Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The SKIPPY ® brand is hitting the road with the SKIPPY ® Crushin' It tour; an initiative designed to celebrate and support students and student-athletes as they head back to school. The tour includes high-energy campus events; a peanut butter giveaway and product donations aimed at addressing food insecurity — a persistent problem on college campuses nationwide.
"The SKIPPY ® Crushin' It tour is meant to celebrate the grind that goes into a student's journey," said Sam Hovick , brand manager for the SKIPPY ® brand. "This experience provides the ultimate break between classes, sports or studying, complete with engaging activities, giveaways and satisfying SKIPPY ® peanut butter snacks."
As part of the tour's mission to fuel student success, the SKIPPY ® brand will donate 5,000 jars of peanut butter at each stop to campus food shelves, totaling 20,000 jars across all four campuses enough to make over 300,000 peanut butter sandwiches.*
"We're showing up for students," Hovick said. "Food insecurity shouldn't get in the way of education, and this donation is one way we're supporting students as they pursue their degrees with confidence, focus and full stomachs."
Student athletes, the SKIPPY ® brand team and the EventLink Group will make four on-campus visits between August and September:
- Aug. 19 : University of Alabama with Jamarion Miller , junior running back.
- Aug. 22 : University of Mississippi with Cayden Lee , junior wide receiver and Caleb Odom , sophomore wide receiver.
- Aug. 27 : Clemson University with Sammy Brown , sophomore linebacker, TJ Moore, sophomore wide receiver and Antonio Williams , junior wide receiver.
- Sept. 13 : Georgia Tech vs. Clemson football game
At each stop, students can unwind with joyful activities, photo-friendly moments, free swag and tasty SKIPPY ® peanut butter snacks.
"I'm so excited to partner with the SKIPPY ® brand for the SKIPPY ® Crushin' It tour — we go together like PB and JAM," said Jamarion "Jam" Miller , junior running back for the Alabama Crimson Tide. "It's the perfect way to kick off the school year, and what the brand is doing to support students and fight food insecurity on campus is inspiring."
One lucky student at each campus will be rewarded for their hustle with the Spread the Success SKIPPY ® Peanut Butter giveaway, which awards the winner a monthly supply of peanut butter for the remainder of their undergrad years.
