To celebrate the back to school season,
Santander Bank,
N.A. today announced a new “Soccer
Scholars” sweepstakes in partnership with the New England Revolution as
part of the Bank’s sponsorship of the Major League Soccer team.
Between
August 28 and September 19, 2014, parents are invited to submit 100
words or less highlighting their child’s finest academic accomplishments
from the 2013 school year using the sweepstakes nomination page.
With every entry,
the parent will be entered for a chance to win a spot for his or her
child in an exclusive soccer clinic led by Revolution Academy coaches
and New England Revolution players in the Dana-Farber Field House at
Gillette Stadium on Sunday, September 28.
The
fifty “Soccer Scholars” winners will be randomly selected to
participate, where the children, accompanied by their parents, will
engage in various soccer skills, drills and scrimmages and interact with
professional soccer players.
“As
a bank that celebrates ideas, we’re committed to supporting programs
that support educational excellence in the communities in which we
operate and we’re excited to partner with the New England Revolution
to recognize the outstanding academic achievements of New England
students,” said Michael Bruno, Santander region president for
Northeastern New England. Santander
has a long-standing commitment to education at all levels - from
elementary through post-secondary. Through its Santander Universities
division, Santander provided over $10 million
in scholarships and grants in 2013 to 28 colleges and universities in
the United States, including 14 institutions in Massachusetts.
Santander is the Official Bank of the New England Revolution. “We’re
always focused on creating new ways to engage with our fans, and are
especially excited to do so in a way that emphasizes the importance of
education,” said New England Revolution president Brian
Bilello. “We are pleased to work with our partner Santander to reward
the students’ significant academic achievements with the once in a
lifetime opportunity to play soccer with some of their favorite
players.”
