HERNDON, Va.– Northwest FCU said it has entered into partnership with Sam Howell, quarterback of the NFL’s Washington Commanders. The news follows Northwest’s recent announcement of becoming the Official Credit Union of the Washington Commanders.
“Sam Howell is a household name in the Washington, D.C., area well-known for his strong leadership both on and off the field,” the credit union said in a statement. “The alliance between Northwest and Howell will help shine the light on their shared commitment to serving the community.”
The credit union said one of the first joint community efforts will be the Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation Food for Kids Drive, held in coordination with Helping Hungry Kids and Seven Loaves Services, Inc. Howell will be volunteering alongside Northwest FCU employees to fill backpacks with nutritious food for the weekend to provide to children who are paying free and reduced meal rates for lunch at school.
‘Impressive Young Man’
“Sam Howell is such an impressive young man and amazing athlete, and we are so happy to welcome him as a new member of Northwest,” said Northwest FCU president Jeff Bentley in a statement. “He’ll be so much more than a spokesperson for Northwest as we’ll be working side by side on upcoming charitable efforts and community activities.”
‘Great Opportunity’
Added Howell, "I’m looking forward to collaborating with Northwest and working together on our shared philanthropic and charitable passions. I recently became a member of Northwest and had an awesome experience learning more about the credit union mission and how Northwest is an active part of that.
“It’s a great opportunity for me to be able to work with Northwest in this effort to help these kids in need,” continued Howell. “This is already a cause that is dear to me as I partner with TABLE, an organization that works to help alleviate hunger in Orange County, N.C.”
Howell attended the University of North Carolina. The partnership was brokered by Howell’s marketing firm, ESM in Greenville, S.C.
