TAMPA, FL, (August 23, 2012) – Grow Financial recently announced their continued partnership with The University of South Florida for the upcoming 2012 football season. Grow Financial has been working with The University of South Florida for more than eight years. This year, they will be a media sponsor and the Hero of the Game sponsor.
New this year, Grow Financial will feature a “Cash Grab” game during the second quarter of every home football game at Raymond James Stadium. USF students will have the chance to step into the money machine and win up to $1000! One lucky student will have the chance at each home game to participate in the Credit Union’s “Cash Grab” by showing their team spirit and being USF’s most fanatical fan. In addition to the “Cash Grab”, students will also have the chance to stop by and visit with employees from Grow Financial to receive cool giveaways and information on the Credit Union.
“The University of South Florida continues to receive national prominence for the excellence of its academic and athletic programs,” said Brian Holloway, AVP/Marketing for Grow Financial and a USF graduate. “We’re very proud to continue our support with this institution again, and contribute toward their success.”
In addition to working with the University of South Florida’s athletic department, the Credit Union also actively participates in the university’s undergraduate and MBA programs.
“We’re excited Grow Financial continues recognizing USF Athletics as a resource and platform for its marketing initiatives,” said Doug Woolard, Director of Athletics at USF. “Their support contributes to the success of USF Athletics and our student-athletes. The introduction of some new promotions will provide an increased fan experience during USF Football and Basketball home games this season, along with enhancing Grow Financial’s in-game exposure.”
