SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes was announced as the title sponsor of the newly-named Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, which will feature a power-five college football matchup between members of the ACC and Pac-12 at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 31. The multiyear partnership is marked by Tony the Tiger being the first mascot to lend his name to a college football bowl game. “In light of the recent, heartbreaking events in El Paso, it is more important now than ever to focus on the strength of this community and the events that make our city great,” said Bernie Olivas, Executive Director of the Sun Bowl Association. “That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Tony the Tiger and Frosted Flakes to help continue this event’s longstanding tradition of uniting our community, and with a renewed focus on aiding middle school sports, we hope to positively impact families and young athletes beyond game day.” ESPN, X Games and Major League Baseball announced the addition of four MLB Clubs to the Shred Hate initiative, a multi-faceted, innovative bullying prevention program that seeks to end bullying in schools by encouraging youth to choose kindness with the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics signing on. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates are returning to the initiative for a second consecutive year. Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment and Miami University Athletics reached an agreement that grants Van Wagner exclusive rights to represent Miami University Athletics in negotiating corporate sponsorships and media sales.
