NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 08, 2022
New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and NFP, the Official Insurance Broker of NYCFC, today announced new activations for the 2022 season.
This season, NFP will be the presenting partner of several NYCFC community events centering on a love for soccer and community. The expanded partnership will see NFP become the presenting partner of NYCFC’s Partner Forum, an opportunity for NYCFC partners and agencies to discuss Club goals both on and off the pitch. As this year’s presenting partner of the City in the Community (CITC) Golf Cup, NFP will help the Club raise funds for the nonprofit proudly supported by NYCFC, helping to increase access to free soccer programming and safe places to play for New York City youth.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with NYCFC as their official insurance broker and expand our community engagement,” said Eric Boester, an EVP and the CMO for NFP. “In 2021, the partnership and our collective results exceeded all expectations, so momentum is strong. As a global organization with strong New York City roots and a passion for enhancing communities where we will live, work and play, we’re excited for the impact we can have supporting those in need, while advancing awareness of everything our brand represents.”
Andres Gonzalez, NYCFC Vice President of Partnerships, added: “We are thrilled about the great work we’re doing with NFP and are delighted by their eagerness to partner with us on a variety of community events. We made great progress in 2021, including our collaboration on the launch of our For the City campaign. There is much more to come as we integrate more expertise, resources and commitment into our growing NYCFC family.”
