Bowling Green, Ohio - The Union Bank Company and Bowling Green Athletics' multimedia rights holder, Falcon Sports Properties, announced today the continuation of their partnership for a fourth consecutive year.
Concurrent with The Union Bank Company's renewed relationship providing them exposure and visibility throughout the athletic season via numerous mediums, the “Kid Captain of the Game” initiative also will take place. Launched last year, the program is designed for the youngest Falcon football fans, with one winner chosen for each home game. He or she will receive a team jersey, four tickets to a home football game, on-field, pre-game access to watch the players warm-up, as well as the opportunity to stand alongside players for the coin toss. Each Kid Captain also will be recognized on the field before kick off. Parents are encouraged to register their children 12 years or younger, at any Union Bank Company location in Northwest Ohio.
"The Union Bank Company is proud to be part of the Bowling Green community. As a community bank, we believe in local sponsorships and supporting local organizations and charities," commented The Union Bank Company President & CEO, Brian D. Young." Our partnership with BGSU Athletics is one of many local sponsorships that we believe make a difference, as educational and financial institutions' continued involvement are vital to ensure our neighbors and friends have the opportunities to realize their individual goals.”
"We appreciate the continued relationship with Union Bank," BGSU Director of Athletics Greg Christopher said. "Their backing of BGSU Athletics supports our 425 student-athletes as they reach for their goals academically and athletically. We are also pleased to continue the Kid Captain of the Game Program which provides area children a unique opportunity and experience on football game day.”
