Baltimore , MD (July 7, 2026) |
BASE Sports Group is proud to announce a new partnership between State Employees Credit Union of Maryland (SECU MD) and Coppermine, naming SECU the “Preferred Credit Union Partner” of the Coppermine community. The collaboration will deliver financial education resources, on-site activations, and integrated digital content to thousands of athletes, families, and staff across Coppermine’s portfolio statewide. Designed to create meaningful community impact while driving measurable membership growth, the partnership establishes a year-round platform for engagement.
SECU’s investment reflects a shared commitment to empowering families through accessible financial education and community-driven support. As part of the partnership, SECU will launch a special community promotion in which one eligible family that opens a new account during the partnership period will be selected to win a free season of Summer Camp at Coppermine for their child. Additional opportunities to enter will also be available through select community events and voluntary email sign-ups connected to partnership activations.
On-site activations throughout the year will take place across Coppermine’s premier properties and events, including NFL Flag Football programming, summer camps, and the annual Cascade Lights holiday event. In addition, SECU will provide quarterly financial wellness content, host webinars for families and staff, and participate in community-focused events, creating consistent, high-impact touchpoints across both physical and digital channels.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Coppermine to expand our presence within such a highly engaged, community-focused environment that will have a great impact on holistic wellness for so many families. Financial wellness, much like physical wellness, is crucial to ensuring Marylanders at every age and every stage of life are happy, healthy and fulfilled,” said Toby Smith, EVP, Chief Relationship Officer at SECU. “And, youth sports– especially in Maryland– are at the center of so many families’ lives, and this partnership allows us to connect with them in meaningful ways while providing valuable financial education and support.”
“Bringing a credit union into the youth sports space is a unique and forward-thinking approach,” said Jordan Schwartzberg of BASE Sports Group. “SECU’s ability to integrate financial wellness into the athlete and family experience adds a meaningful layer of value to the community while creating deeper, more impactful engagement beyond traditional sponsorship models.”
SECU members can take advantage of this new partnership and sign up through the credit union’s Virtual Financial Center. For more information, please visit secumd.org or gocoppermine.com.
