“Santander Field Goal Challenge” Finalist Cory Bachstein of Roxborough, Pa.
to Kick Field Goal Worth $20k During Halftime of the December 11 Game

What:
Roxborough, Pa. resident Cory Bachstein will have the chance of a lifetime during halftime at the Philadelphia Eagles December 11 home game as he attempts a 30-yard field goal for the final kick of the “Santander Field Goal Challenge.” Bachstein will take to the field and make his kick before nearly 70,000 football fans at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles Drum Line and Cheerleaders.

A successful conversion will net Bachstein a $10,000 cash prize and a $10,000 school donation, both courtesy of Santander Bank, the Official Bank of the Philadelphia Eagles. Bachstein has selected Pennsbury High School as the recipient of the donation should he win. He played for the school’s soccer team while in attendance, which he credits with his success in the competition thus far. If Bachstein does not convert his attempt, Santander will award him a $2,500 consolation prize, as well as a $2,500 donation to Pennsbury High School.

Following the kick, there will be an on-field prize presentation ceremony with Bachstein and Santander’s Chief Marketing Officer Doug Kalish, Santander’s Managing Director and Head of Corporate and Commercial Banking Cameron Letters and Santander’s Regional Executive Director of Corporate and Commercial Banking David Swoyer.

Bachstein successfully completed a 35-yard field goal during the Santander Field Goal Challenge Tryouts at the Fieldhouse at NovaCare Complex last month, where he received pointers from Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis.
