TAMPA, Fla. –For the second year in a row, GTE Financial has been a sponsor of the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic’s Corporate and Open Team Challenge. The annual race benefits charitable youth organizations and running programs in the Tampa Bay area.
“Gasparilla race weekend is a hallmark Tampa event that brings the entire community together for a great cause, and GTE is proud to be part of that,” says Joe Brancucci, president and CEO of GTE Financial. “This is an event we can truly stand behind, as we know there is a direct correlation between healthier lifestyles and better financial management. Fostering financial literacy is one of our primary initiatives.”
GTE promoted race registration on its website and encouraged members to post a picture during the event on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter with #GTEatGDC to be entered to win $50 gift cards. GTE selected five winners for the social media component.
Participants of the Corporate and Open Team Challenge had access to a private and catered GTE VIP tent on race day and received an official team challenge photo, provided by GTE. The GTE Financial Corporate and Open Team Challenge consisted of four divisions: men, women, mixed and masters mixed.
