(March 22, 2019) – For the second straight year, every kid age 14 and under at Lionsbridge FC regular season home games will receive a free team poster, courtesy of Mosquito Joe. Lionsbridge FC players will be available to sign autographs for kids after every game.
The club announced the return of Mosquito Joe as a major sponsor for the 2019 season. The company provides mosquito control services to residential and commercial customers to “make outside fun again.”
“We are excited to continue our support for the fastest growing community activity on the entire Peninsula,” said Mosquito Joe’s Robert Rummells, whose territory includes the entire Peninsula. “Mosquito Joe wants to thank all of the staff, players, coaches and the fans for participating in this awesome endeavor!”
“We are grateful to Robert and Mosquito Joe for their continuing support of Lionsbridge FC. Long before we ever kicked a ball, Mosquito Joe shared our vision to build a team for the Peninsula community to call its own, and we are glad to have back for an even bigger and better Year Two,” said Lionsbridge FC co-founder Mike Vest.
Mosquito Joe will receive stadium and video board visibility and digital media exposure throughout the season, including home games and the team’s pre-game community festivals. In addition, Mosquito Joe will be the presenting sponsor of one Lionsbridge FC home game on May 25. Fans will have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a Mosquito Joe prize package and the first 1,000 fans at that game will receive a co-branded Mosquito Joe and Lionsbridge FC giveaway.
The announcement marks the latest Lionsbridge FC partnership, a list that includes presenting sponsors Chick-fil-A, Riverside Regional Medical Center, Planet Fitness, Financial Security Group, as well as major sponsors All-Pro Tactical, Buffalo Wild Wings, Burger Theory, Clancy & Theys Construction Company, Holiday Inn Hampton-Newport News, Kwolity Productions, Lidl, Parkway Printshop, Signs by Tomorrow, Space Walk of Yorktown, as well as kit manufacturer Nike, and television broadcast partner Cox Communications.
