Kearny Bank has recently completed a deal to serve as an official supporter of the New Jersey Super Football Conference, the company announced Thursday.
The SFC is the largest high school football conference in the United States, representing 112 public and non-public schools across seven North Jersey counties.
As part of the deal, Kearny will have market opportunities at select games, on social media, and via the SFC’s streaming platform, SFC network. Additionally, Kearny Bank will collaborate with the SFC to offer financial education-focused programming to every school in the conference.
Kearny Bank SVP Jack Anastasi explained the significance of supporting the youth.
“For young people, participating in athletics is an extremely valuable experience that imparts life lessons on teamwork, discipline, and overcoming challenges,” he said. “That’s what motivated us to support the Super Football Conference, along with our enthusiasm for an opportunity to expand the financial literacy of students in the conference’s member schools. We’re proud to be affiliated with such a respected organization.”
Likewise, SFC President Tom Mullahey was intrigued about what it meant to partner with Kearny.
“The SFC is thrilled about our new partnership with Kearny Bank and we’re excited to continue to demonstrate that we’re more than just a football conference, we are an extension of the classroom,” says SFC President Tom Mullahey. “This is an opportunity to bring financial education not only to our student athletes but to all students in our member schools.”
The partnership was facilitated by Accelerate Sports Ventures, strategic advisor and representative of the Super Football Conference.
