Florida Seals News Release
CELEBRATION, FL â The Florida Seals and First National Bank of Osceola County announced today that the two organizations have signed a sponsorship agreement designating First National Bank of Osceola County as the "Official Bank" of the Florida Seals for the upcoming 2005-06 season at the Silver Spurs Arena.
"First National Bank of Osceola County is proud to be the "Official Bank" of the Florida Seals Professional Hockey Team," said Tom White, President and CEO. "Being Osceola County's oldest and largest Community Bank, we are dedicated to serving both our community and the businesses and residents that live and work here. We hope you will come out and join us in supporting our new home-town Florida Seals hockey team for some hard hitting action."
The promotional sponsorship will include marketing elements such as in-arena signage, game night program advertising, premium item giveaway nights, in-branch promotions, and support for Community Vision, a grass-roots, non-profit organization, bringing people and resources together to achieve the community's vision since 1995.
"This is a great partnership between Osceola County's hometown bank and Osceola County's hometown team," said Kevin Simpson, Director of Marketing of the Florida Seals. The best part of this agreement is the fact that every time the Seals score a goal at home this season, First National Bank of Osceola County will donate $10 to Community Vision. "It is very appropriate that Community Vision is our recipient, since the organization is celebrating its 10th birthday with planned monthly gifts to the Osceola community. First National Bank of Osceola County is proud to be donating these funds to Community Vision, so they can continue to help assure that the Osceola County community reaches its important goals, along with the Seals," White stated.
As part of the sponsorship, fans that open a new checking account with First National Bank of Osceola County will receive two free game tickets to an upcoming Seals hockey game during the 2005-06 season. First National Bank of Osceola County will also promote the Seals home schedule by wearing Florida Seals T-Shirts on game days and distributing team pocket schedules at each of their branch locations.
