Launches contest for once in a lifetime Army West Point Football road game experience

Tarrytown NY — KeyBank and Army West Point Athletic Association today agreed to a multi-year partnership that features media spots on Army’s radio, TV and digital properties for the football, hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse and basketball teams. KeyBank and Army football will also feature a ‘Fly Away with KeyBank’ contest.

“KeyBank has been a longtime supporter of the United States Military, and we are privileged to be selected as a partner with the Army West Point Athletic Association,” said Joseph Markey, Hudson Valley/Metro New York Market President at KeyBank.

As part of its corporate sponsorship, the ‘Fly Away with KeyBank’ contest will select one lucky New York winner and send them on a once-in-a-lifetime road game experience with Army West Point football. The winner will receive two tickets to the Saturday, September 22nd Army West Point vs. Oklahoma Sooners game in the Gaylord Family – Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., one of the most recognized venues in college football. The same winner will also receive two round-trip airfare tickets, two nights’ hotel stay and a $200 Key Possibilities® Mastercard® Gift Card.

KeyBank currently employs over 350 active duty servicemen and women and veterans. In 2018, Key was recognized by GI Jobs with the “Military Friendly Employer” and “Military Spouse Friendly Employer” awards for the third consecutive year. Over the past five years, KeyBank has provided more than $24 million to veteran-owned small businesses through its SBA lending program.

“It is truly an honor to see this partnership come to fruition,” said Jamie Warder, Head of KeyBank Business Banking and graduate of United States Military Academy at West Point. “We believe the relationship will extend beyond the stadiums and we look forward to the opportunity to further show our support to the military community.”

Managing the KeyBank relationship on behalf of the Academy is its exclusive multimedia rights holder, Learfield’s Army West Point Sports Properties.
