The leaders of Tampa Bay-based Suncoast Credit Union and the reigning Gainbridge Super League Champion Tampa Bay Sun Football Club announce a transformative partnership that will bolster women’s professional sports in the Tampa Bay area.
Suncoast has committed to a leading partnership that will further Tampa Bay Sun FC’s efforts to grow the impact of women’s professional sports in the region. Additional elements of the partnership include naming rights for Suncoast Credit Union Field, charitable giving to support students at Blake High School, and exclusive ticket benefits for Suncoast members to expand the reach of professional women’s soccer to more people in the community. Sun matches remain one of the region’s most affordable pro sports experiences.
The announcement came during a lively soccer takeover of Suncoast Credit Union headquarters in Tampa, where Head Coach Denise Schilte-Brown and Sun players celebrated the new partnership, with team flags and gear transforming the lobby into a showcase of the club’s championship spirit. The surprise finale: A $10,000 donation to the Blake High School Boosters. That donation will be the first of many, with Suncoast committing an additional $200 for each shot on goal made by the Sun this season at the newly named Suncoast Credit Union Field.
The Sun will invest the sponsorship funds into facilities, salaries, and other efforts that ensure the team and the Tampa Bay region continue to be a premier destination for female athletes, coaches, and sports professionals.
