Your Chance to Win $450 in Onward Reserve Gear Starts Here
If you’ve run into me at a listing or a Saturday tailgate, you know my “uniform” is built for the Raleigh lifestyle: polished, comfortable, and usually featuring a subtle Wolfpack logo.
When it comes to high-quality performance gear and the best collegiate collection in town, my first stop is always Onward Reserve in the Village District. I am incredibly excited to team up with the manager (and my good friend!), Karen Nowell, to kick off a month-long giveaway that will have you looking sharp from the coast to the stadium.
The “Gameday & Getaway” Prize Pack

We’re going big for this one. One lucky winner is going to get a serious wardrobe upgrade just in time for the summer heat.
The total value is over $450 and includes:
- $200 Gift Card provided by Karen and the Onward Reserve team.
- $200 Match from me (That’s $400 to spend however you want at Onward Reserve)!
- The Signature “Finishing Touches”: A premium Onward Reserve signature candle and luxury bar soap valued at $57.
What’s on My Wishlist?
With $400, you can cover a lot of ground. If you aren’t sure where to start, here are the pieces I am eyeing for the season:
- The NC State “Tuffy” Performance Polos: Onward Reserve’s NC State Collection is unmatched. Whether it’s the “Tailgate Games” print or the classic Tuffy Head stripe, these are essential for any Pack fan.
- The Hybrid Shorts: These are a total game-changer. They look like a classic chino but have the stretch and quick-dry tech of a board short. Perfect for a boat day that ends at a nice dinner.
- Performance 1/4 Zips: For those breezy nights at the coast or early morning tee times, their “Flow” and “Yeager” pullovers are Ryan’s go-to layers.
- The Waffle House Classic Blend Printed Performance Polo: They had me at Waffle House.
The Ultimate Father’s Day Save
With the contest wrapping up right before Father’s Day, this is your chance to secure the ultimate gift without the stress. Whether you win it for yourself (we won’t tell!) or use that $400 credit to deck out the Dad in your life in the best summer performance gear Raleigh has to offer, you’ll be the MVP of the holiday.
From the perfect beach-to-bar shorts to a fresh “Tuffy” polo for the office, Onward Reserve is basically Father’s Day headquarters.
How to Enter

The contest officially launches on Wednesday, May 13, and will run until midnight on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Enter by filling out the form below.
Pro Tip: Next time you’re in the Village District, stop by and see Karen. The store is located at 404 Daniels St, Raleigh, NC 27605. Check out the quality in person—once you feel the performance fabrics, you’ll understand why I am such a fan.
Good luck, Raleigh! Let’s get you ready for summer and gameday in style.
