Sir Purr, the Carolina Panthers mascot, is a beloved fixture of football in the Carolinas. Armed with a delightful collection of props and costumes, Sir Purr has quickly become a fan favorite and his "Tootsee Roll" dance is always popular among Panthers faithful. Todd Maroldo brings Sir Purr to life. Prior to Joining the Panthers in 1998, Todd was the Hokie Bird, mascot for Virginia Tech for two years. He won the NCAA National Mascot Championship as a junior and senior. "As a mascot, you are in the unique position to change a person's day," Maroldo said. "Whether at a fund-raiser, football game or hospital, both adults and children enjoy interacting with Sir Purr, and it's rewarding to see the smiles on people's faces." |
