Technology Companies Collaborate: Cardinals and Avnet Join Forces
Avnet and the Arizona Cardinals Team Up for Community and Education
In a landmark partnership, Avnet, a global technology solutions leader, and the Arizona Cardinals Football Club have agreed to a multi-year agreement. This collaboration brings together two Arizona-based organizations with a shared commitment to community and education.
As part of the partnership, Avnet will become a Premier Partner of Girls Flag Football in Arizona. The tech giant will also be the presenting partner at multiple events for this initiative, furthering their dedication to fostering opportunities for young girls in sports.
Avnet's involvement extends beyond Arizona's borders, as they secure Canadian activation rights, making them the first Cardinals partner with such rights. This partnership will see Avnet joining in marketing and activation opportunities as the Cardinals expand their footprint to Canada.
The Arizona Cardinals have been at the forefront of promoting girls' flag football, being the first NFL team to broadcast and fully-produce the Girls High School Flag Football Game of the Week. They also have a flag football campus at their home stadium, State Farm Stadium.
Avnet will support the STEM Combine at State Farm Stadium, a programme designed to inspire students to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The tech company will also be a supporting sponsor of this event.
The partnership includes a recognition system for specific in-game events, with the "Avnet Red Zone" being recognised each time the Arizona Cardinals penetrate the opposing 20-yard line. Avnet will make a monetary donation to the Cardinals Foundation each time the team reaches the Avnet Red Zone.
Avnet's commitment to the partnership also includes opportunities to be featured across an array of Cardinals marketing assets, including stadium signage, advertising, and exclusive client engagement experiences.
This partnership underscores Avnet's continued efforts to invest in local communities and support educational initiatives, while the Arizona Cardinals demonstrate their commitment to promoting equal opportunities in sports and education.
