Corda Credit Union Named Presenting Sponsor of Hawkeye Women’s Basketball

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa Athletics and Learfield’s Hawkeye Sports Properties announced today a significant new partnership with Corda Credit Union, naming the in-state financial services provider the Presenting Sponsor of Hawkeye Women’s Basketball.

“We are grateful to Corda Credit Union for its commitment to Iowa women’s basketball as the presenting sponsor,” said Matt Henderson, Deputy Director of Athletics. “This multi-year partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence and will enhance the fan experience while supporting one of the nation’s premier women’s basketball programs. We are proud to partner with Corda and appreciate their investment in the future of Hawkeye women’s basketball.”

Through the multi-year partnership, Corda Credit Union will feature prominently across a multi-faceted sponsorship platform rooted in Iowa’s historic women’s basketball program led by presenting sponsorship video board features prior to tip-off of each Hawkeye home game.

Corda will additionally serve as the game sponsor for one home game each year, with company branding also included on the TV-visible south railing and multiple concourse displays throughout Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Outside the arena, Corda will also play a prominent role in digital women’s basketball broadcasts with commercial spots as well as opening and closing billboards for Hawkeye Women’s Basketball coaches shows and live game day radio broadcasts along with an in-game radio feature during each game day broadcast.

“As Corda continues to grow, we’re excited to build new connections with people and communities across Iowa,” said Paula O’Rourke, President & CEO of Corda Credit Union. “Becoming the presenting sponsor for Iowa Women’s Basketball gives us an incredible opportunity to do that while supporting student-athletes and a program that brings so many Iowans together. We’re proud to be part of something that means so much to our state.”

Corda Credit Union is a not-for-profit, full-service financial cooperative that has been helping Iowans build a strong foundation since 1935 through branches based in Cedar Rapids, Marion and North Liberty.

"Iowa Women’s Basketball is a staple for Hawkeye fans and Iowans all over the state, and we’re thrilled to have a local, community-focused business commit themselves to the program in such a meaningful way,” said Gabe Aguirre, Vice President & General Manager of Hawkeye Sports Properties. “We look forward to a long and successful partnership, bringing Corda Credit Union together with even more of our fans and neighbors than the many they already serve.”
