DULUTH, Ga.–Georgia United Credit Union said it is expanding its partnership as the Official Credit Union of Georgia Athletics.
“This comprehensive five-year commitment enhances the existing sponsorship of the Georgia Athletics Department that began in 2015 and reinforces Georgia United's commitment to the UGA Athletic Association,” the credit union said.
The athletic sponsorship was facilitated through Georgia Bulldog Sports Properties and will strengthen Georgia United's presence on campus and sporting events, including endorsements from Head Football Coach Kirby Smart, according to the credit union.
"We are excited for the opportunity to grow our relationship with the University of Georgia by increasing our presence in athletics and providing financial education and opportunities," said GUCU President/CEO Debbie Smith. "The UGAAA shares many of our values and we are proud to contribute on-going support to the Oconee and Clarke County communities."
Georgia United said it has supported the University of Georgia for 50 years, including community outreach through various programs for the university including FSLA Loan and VITA Tax Assistance programs.
The renewed partnership also includes in-venue signage and video features during home football, basketball, baseball and softball games, as well as gymnastics meets. Additional promotional opportunities include radio commercials, in-game features and gymnastics entitlement meets throughout each year.
The $1.2-billion Georgia United CU has more than 160,000 members.
