Amerant Bank Announces Expanded Sponsorship Agreement with Miami Athletics

-

 ORAL GABLES, Fla. – Amerant Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in Florida and the Official ‘Hometown Bank’ of University of Miami Athletics, today announced an expansion of its partnership with the University’s Athletic Department. The five-year extension gives the bank more prominent brand exposure, enhanced programs designed to support consumer banking and provide more opportunities for community-focused programming.

“The initial year of our partnership was so well embraced by our team members, clients and the South Florida community, that the idea of expanding our relationship seemed the logical evolution,” said Jerry Plush, Chairman & CEO of Amerant Bank. “We share community-focused values with the University of Miami, and expanding our scope and term of our partnership allows us to further those opportunities.”

The multi-year partnership, which currently includes Hurricanes football, basketball and baseball programs, as well as a presence across all University of Miami Athletics programs, will now also feature increased marquee branding during football games at Hard Rock Stadium, floor apron signage at men’s and women’s basketball games at the Watsco Center, and expanded post-season digital and advertising opportunities and targeted marketing. It also entails additional community engagement with youth programs, the school’s Military Appreciation program, and the opportunity to sponsor campus programs such as “Spring and Fall Orientation” and “Family Weekend”.

“We have appreciated our relationship with Amerant Bank during this first year of our multi-year program,” said Chris Maragno, SVP, Hurricanes Partnerships, “and very much look forward to their increased participation.”

The initial year of the relationship included support for Elementary School Day programming and youth sports clinics, along with a number of other educational elements. The bank also served as sponsor to Miami Hurricanes’ Hometown Hero program, which celebrates the brave men and women who serve our country and local community.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan. Inside the dining room the wall opposite the windows appears at fi...

The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f...
