Ducks Announce Three New Corporate Partners

The Ducks have announced three more new corporate partnerships today. Chick-fil-A, Hestan Commercial and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner all have joined the club's growing list of corporate partners. Each of the Ducks' corporate partnerships are custom designed to meet the individual partner's goals and objectives and negotiated in house by the Ducks and Honda Center corporate partnership team.

"We are thrilled to add these three great brands to our partnership portfolio," said Bill Pedigo, Chief Commercial Officer for the Anaheim Ducks. "The growth in the number and size of our partnerships is a testament to the dedication of the entire Ducks and Honda Center organizations as well as the creativity and dedication of the corporate partnership team. We look forward to working with these three new partners and all of our partners throughout the season."
Chick-fil-A has signed a multi-year partnership with the Anaheim Ducks and aligned with the NHL club to help increase their community outreach in the Southern California area. Chick-fil-A will be integrated into The RINKS program which is designed to help spread grassroots hockey throughout Orange County. Chick-Fil-A will also be featured as the presenting sponsor of the S.C.O.R.E. (Scholastic Curriculum Of Recreation & Education) Shootout which uses the sport of hockey to teach educational themes, encourages a healthy and active lifestyle and rewards youth for their dedication of pursuing academic excellence. Chick-fil-A is also introducing its 'Five Goals Equals Free Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich' promotion to Ducks fans this year. When the Anaheim Ducks score five goals during a home game, everyone in attendance can redeem their ticket for a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich the following day. To kick off the partnership, the team delivered five goals and a win on opening night to the delight of all fans in attendance.
Hestan Commercial has signed a new partnership with the Anaheim Ducks to help further their rapid growth nationally. Hestan Commercial is an elite manufacturer of commercial and residential cooking appliances. Proudly made in Anaheim and endorsed by renowned chefs such as Thomas Keller and the Culinary Institute of America. During the season, Ducks fans will see the Hestan brand with a premier placement within the ice at Honda Center. The Anaheim Ducks Foundations' culinary forward event, Dux N Tux, will also see an increase in culinary power with the addition of the Hestan brand, providing guest chefs and attendees with a chance to experience the brand first-hand. Throughout the year Hestan will also provide Ducks fans with other chances to win other fine Hestan products.

As he expressed many times over the years: "Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to someone else - our time, our love, our resources. I have always found more joy in giving when I did not expect anything in return." This value is at the core of everything we do.
