(NASDAQ: DAVE), one of the nation's leading neobanks, announced
today an official partnership with the Drew League, Los Angeles' premiere Pro-Am basketball
league.
Dave Partners with Drew League, LA's Pro-Am
Basketball Team
Dave chose to partner with Drew League because of their shared
missions to provide opportunities for young people to succeed and
give them the tools they need to create change in their lives.
While The Drew League levels the playing field on the court, Dave
is leveling the financial playing field for millions of underserved
Americans across the country.
Dave Founder and CEO, Jason Wilk,
said, "At Dave, our mission is to level the financial playing field
for everyone. In this case, we're taking our efforts to the
basketball court in partnering with Drew League as the official
financial services sponsor for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. As a
Los Angeles-based company,
Dave and Drew League share a passion
for improving our local community by creating opportunity and
access."
Drew League commissioner, Chaniel
Smiley said, "The Drew League has been creating
opportunities for emerging basketball talent in South Central Los
Angeles for 50 years and we're proud to partner with Dave this
season and next. Dave and Drew
League have a shared passion for improving this community,
while increasing access and visibility for all."
Crossovr Collective [OVR] Co-Founder, Steph Rawlins, The Drew League's media,
marketing & brand agency who coordinated the partnership said,
"Having a brand partner like Dave is really special and important,
because not only do they see the value of the brand, but they also
understand the importance of making sure local entities like The
Drew are supported so that they can continue to exist, and be a
staple to the community for another 50 years. Partnerships like
this allow The Drew to expand their resources and opportunities it
offers its youth, through the Drew League Non-Profit, the players
and other members of the community."
This summer, Dave kicked off its support of the Drew League's
"Player of the Game" series and branding began appearing in the
gyms and on the court throughout the season. In 2024, the
partnership will expand and Dave will be the official Jersey Patch
sponsor for the league.
This partnership marks Dave's continued support for the LA
community, following the neobank's recent support of Baby2Baby's
Beverly Hills Mother's Day event.
