Leveraging the Power of Sports

Sports have been part of the Bank of America culture for the better part of 130 years, when the company first sponsored employee baseball teams. This rich heritage is grounded in our belief that sports can bring individuals, communities and nations closer together, while creating opportunities to help our customers and our businesses move forward.

Today, Bank of America is recognized as a leading financial partner, advisor and sponsor across the global sports landscape. As a world-class financial institution with a dedicated Sports Finance and Advisory Team, we help owners, leagues and franchises address their full range of financial needs – from building stadiums to redesigning their capital structure to change-in-control transactions.

As a sports marketing leader, Bank of America is focused on baseball, football and motorsports as major platforms to advance business and community growth opportunities, proudly serving as an official sponsor of Major League Baseball^® and NASCAR^®, while supporting an expansive portfolio that includes a variety of regional sponsorships.

Whether it's providing complex financial solutions to leagues and teams, helping fans connect everyday banking to their passion for sports, or contributing to the economic impact of a community, Bank of America views its support for sports as victory for our associates, customers, communities and shareholders.

Baseball

Bank of America is a proud sponsor of Major League Baseball^®, the MLB All Star Game and MLB World Series, as well as the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. Additionally, Bank of America supports a number of Minor League clubs at the local level. This unique association with America's National Pastime represents an unprecedented level of commitment. From big league ballparks to the neighborhood sandlots where kids first learn to play the game, only Bank of America works nationally and locally to create opportunities for fans to connect with baseball at all levels.

Motorsports

Bank of America is a proud sponsor of NASCAR^®, providing fans greater access to financial services and greater access to the thrills and excitement of racing. With a full array of products and services delivered through an unmatched network of convenient delivery options, Bank of America strives to meet the financial needs not only to NASCAR's millions of fans, but also to its powerful community of teams and drivers, sponsor partners and businesses that support the operations and growth of the sport.

Bank of America's involvement with NASCAR dates back to the early 1980s, when its legacy banks in Virginia and North Carolina sponsored races and provided financing for motor speedways throughout the United States. Over the last two decades, the company's foray into racing has significantly expanded. Today, in addition to its agreement with the sport's sanctioning body Bank of America has partnerships with International Speedway Corporation (ISC) and Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI), and sponsors the Bank of America 500^® at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.

Football

The broad and avid appeal of football gives us the opportunity to deliver the Bank of America brand in some of the most passionate football cities in the country. We have exclusive sponsorships of the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots^™ and Washington Redskins.

Regional

Bank of America is proud to support an expanded set of regional sponsorships that are critical to the economic, social and cultural vibrancy of the communities in which we live, work and play. This support is driven by the notion that healthy neighborhoods are healthier places to do business. Examples of our regional sponsorship investments include the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Bank of America Atlanta Football Classic and the CIAA Basketball Tournament. The economic impact of such events can be substantial, providing an invaluable promotional opportunity for the host city and contributing to the economic base of the broader community.
