SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
The Automobile Racing Club of America, Procter & Gamble, and Menards locked in a deal to mark the national consumer goods corporation a major sponsor of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. Procter & Gamble’s Bounty brand has also been named the sponsor of ARCA’s Rookie of the Year program. “This motorsports sponsorship program is a direct result of the business-to-business relationship between Procter & Gamble and Menards,” said Mark Gundrum, Vice President of Business Development and Corporate Partnerships for ARCA. “The end result is increased business, product sales and sales promotion for Procter & Gamble and a number of their consumer brands.” The NFL announced the launch of the Inspire Change platform, designed to showcase “the collaborative efforts of players, owners and the league to create positive change in communities across the country,” with a focus on education and economic advancement, police and community relations as well as criminal justice reform. As part of the league's ongoing commitment to social justice, the joint NFL players-owners working group recently approved two new social justice grants focused on the three priority areas. The grants were issued to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) and Operation HOPE. Major League Soccer partner Heineken reportedly made a bold trademark application to become the 'Official Beer of Soccer' in the US. The trademark application was filed to the US Patents and Trademarks office on Jan. 4, according to The Drum. Ahead of the Australian Open, Tennis Channel and Hall of Famer Rod Laver will light One World Trade Center Spire in Manhattan today. Laver, who won seven Australian Open championships as a player and is considered one of the greatest of all time, will light the spire atop the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere from the tournament in Melbourne, Australia, 10,000 miles away. The spire's light will alternate between the red, white and blue of the Australian national flag and the signature light blue of the Australian Open's iconic tennis courts. Oscar Mayer inked a deal to become a sponsor with Roush Fenway Racing and NASCAR driver Ryan Newman. Daytona will see Newman power the No. 6 Oscar Mayer Ford Mustang on Feb. 17.
