Aflac

aflacIn 2003 FS&E sold Aflac the sponsorship and created the activation program that resulted in the company’s most visible sponsorship. Together, FS&E and Aflac have grown the game into the nation’s top high school showcase for youth baseball, which is endorsed by Major League Baseball. In 2004, FS&E conceptualized and implemented the Aflac National Selection Tour, engaging prominent sponsors and MLB stars to widen the appeal of Aflac’s event. The tour traveled across the county honoring the elite prep players selected to participate in the game.

 

aflac001The inaugural game was played in Ft. Myers, Fla. and then moved to Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, Md. for two years, where Cal Ripken, Jr. served as the game’s Honorary Chairman. In 2006, San Diego hosted the Aflac Classic at SDSU’s Tony Gwynn Stadium and the 2007 game was played on Saturday, August 11 with Ozzie Smith as the game’s Honorary Chairman. Other influential ambassadors for the Aflac Classic have included Hall of Famers Stan “The Man” Musial and Reggie Jackson and Major League Baseball executives Sandy Alderson and Jimmie Lee Solomon.

 

aflac002Most importantly, the 2007 Aflac All-American Baseball Classic raised a record $150,000 for San Diego’s Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center and $20,000 for Coaches Curing Kids Cancer, the game’s official charity partners, as part of Aflac’s ongoing commitment to support research and treatment of pediatric cancer. In just five years, the game has raised $525,000 for charity.

McDonald's

mcd2007 marked the 30th anniversary of the McDonald’s All American Basketball Games, an annual event featuring the nation’s top men’s and women’s high school basketball players. For this special event McDonald’s wanted to capture the thirty (30) years of equity with its All-American Basketball brand, and reach out far and wide to passionate basketball fans. McDonald’s turned to Formula Sports & Entertainment Group to help them accomplish their objective.

Through FS&E’s relationship with The Topps Company, the largest trading card retailer in the world, FS&E negotiated an innovative, multi-tiered sponsorship that enabled Topps to produce the first-ever McDonald’s All American trading cards. The collectable trading cards are the first of their kind in the NBA’s 50+ year history. The groundbreaking sponsorship included a licensing agreement, advertising/PR campaign, in-store retail promotions and a charitable fundraiser.

Overall, the trading cards integrated McDonald’s corporate and philanthropic goals by raising money for charity and associating with elite NBA players.
