Harrisburg, Pa. -
Penn State Sports Properties announced today that a long-time supporter of Penn State athletics has made a commitment to become the first-ever Presenting Sponsor of both the women's and men's National Championship volleyball teams.
Like Penn State's volleyball teams, The Outlets at Hershey and Rockvale Outlets are top performers, both in the state of Pennsylvania and nationwide.
The partnership provides recognition for both factory direct outlet centers in all advertising to promote men's and women's volleyball matches, as well as at the team's Rec Hall events, featuring fan promotions throughout the season.
"Both our properties, The Outlets at Hershey and Rockvale Outlets, are proud to be presenting sponsors of the National Volleyball Champions, said David Ober, general partner of Rockvale Outlets and Vice President of Leasing for The Outlets at Hershey. "Like volleyball, which is a lifetime sport, outlet shopping meets the needs of our customers throughout their lifetime - from child to adult. We feature top brands in categories from children through seniors, all at a tremendous value!"
"Rockvale Outlets Lancaster and The Outlets At Hershey have proven over their long term as corporate partners that they are true supporters of Penn State athletics", said Michael Felici, General Manager of Penn State Sports Properties. "The expansion of their sponsorship to include the National Championship men's and women's volleyball teams is greatly appreciated and indicative of the Outlets' commitment to the full intercollegiate athletic program at Penn State. We're hopeful Penn State fans and alumni will recognize this high level of support from two fine Pennsylvania-based businesses such as the Rockvale Outlets Lancaster and The Outlets at Hershey."
The Presenting Sponsorship is part of a two-year extension of the agreement between The Outlets At Hershey, Rockvale Outlets and Penn State Sports Properties. This season will be the fifth year of the partnership. The volleyball sponsorship allows The Outlets At Hershey and Rockvale Outlets to attach to two very successful programs and to reach a new audience, while enhancing their overall sponsorship.
