RICHMOND, VA – (Friday, March 18, 2016) – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce an enhanced partnership with Proseal America, Inc. As part of the multi-year, interactive partnership, Proseal will provide a Family Season Pass for all Richmond United Academy and ECNL players, offering up to five family members the opportunity to experience the atmosphere and excitement of Kickers pro soccer games at City Stadium this season.
“Proseal are delighted to be able to continue and strengthen our partnership with the Richmond Kickers,” commented Gari Wyatt, Proseal America, Inc. CEO. “We have always seen it as a great opportunity to help the soccer youth of Richmond to develop. Soccer is becoming a higher profile sport in the USA year on year and to be able to contribute to exceptional programs like the Kickers are providing is very important to Proseal in our desire to support the community we are guests of.”
“A new area this time around is for Proseal to extend our support to the Pro Team,” added Wyatt. “As well as providing great coaching environments, the Kickers very much wanted to provide access to the Academy players and families to experience Kickers Pro games. Proseal were all for this as it will contribute to the individuals’ aspirations as well as continue to grow the Kickers Fan base.”
The Kickers and Proseal first teamed up in 2011 when the leading food packaging manufacturer supported the Richmond Kickers Academy Scholarship Fund and has since been integral in shaping the success of the region’s top youth soccer programs for the past five years.
“Proseal America have proven to be an incredible partner of the Richmond Kickers and their dedication to the advancement of our youth program over the last five years has been tremendous,” commented Ben Terry, Richmond Kickers Director of Sales. “The staff and leadership of this local business leader are huge fans of the game on all levels. We are excited to extend that enthusiasm to Richmond United players by providing them with access to all of the Kickers home games while prominently featuring the Proseal brand at City Stadium going forward.”
The extended partnership will name Proseal as the Presenting Sponsor of the Kickers first annual Foot Golf Tournament to be held in May at Independence Golf Club. Additionally, the Proseal brand will benefit from high-impact exposure at the Kickers state-of-the-art training facility, Ukrop Park, as well as City Stadium where the global logo will be uniquely featured on the field’s center circle prior to every Kickers home match.
