MONCKS CORNER, SC (WMBF) – Myrtle Beach's Beach Ball Classic is partnering with Santee Cooper to "go green" for the first time for its 2009 basketball tournament.
A full 100 percent of the electricity used at this year's Classic will be powered with renewable Green Power generated by Santee Cooper.
The Beach Ball Classic will be held Dec. 26-31 at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center and features 16 teams, including some of South Carolina's best and others from as far away as Nevada and Wisconsin.
Santee Cooper's Green Power will provide lighting, heating, sound system and other electrical requirements inside the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
"The Beach Ball Classic showcases some of the most talented high school basketball players in the country, and we are thrilled to do so this year 100 percent powered by Green Power," said Stan Parker, Beach Ball Classic president.
"Renewable energy is an integral part of Santee Cooper's plans to meet our state's energy needs into the future. This innovative partnership continues our leadership role in advancing local renewable energy across the state," said Lonnie Carter, president and chief executive officer of Santee Cooper.
