EverBank today announced that it has signed an agreement with SMG Jacksonville to continue as the official bank of the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena for an additional three years, through 2018.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with SMG Jacksonville to be a sponsor of the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena,” said Robert Clements, EverBank chairman and chief executive officer. “We are proud to be part of the arena, which has had a positive impact in our community – bringing jobs and entertainment to Jacksonville for over a decade.”
The partnership designates EverBank the sole naming rights sponsor to the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial club level. The Club will remain the unique “EverBank Arena Club.” The agreement also provides for prominent signage, hospitality and official bank status at the arena, the Prime Osborn Convention Center, the Times-Union Center for Performing Arts and the Ritz Theater and Museum – including ATMs for use by attendees.
EverBank became the official bank of the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in 2005. The arena is owned by the City of Jacksonville.
“EverBank is a tremendous community partner and continues to invest in Jacksonville,” said Mayor Alvin Brown. “EverBank’s partnership with the Veterans Memorial Arena creates a unique experience for guests of the EverBank Arena Club and supports the arena’s role in attracting events that improve our economy and enhance our quality of life.”
“This is visible proof of EverBank’s commitment to Jacksonville. However, EverBank’s dedication to the community has roots much deeper than its sponsorship of the Veterans Memorial Arena,” said SMG Jacksonville General Manager, Bill McConnell. “EverBank is the naming sponsor of EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and has been a strong partner for growth and development for many years.”
