Savannah Clovers Football Club recently announced partnerships with Creature Comforts Brewery and Optim Orthopedics.
CREATURE COMFORTS BEER GARDEN
Under the agreement, Clovers home matches at Memorial Stadium will feature the Creature Comforts Beer Garden. The branded, 21+ area in the northeast corner of the stadium will allow fans to consume a variety of beers with up close, field level site lines.
Creature Comforts will serve as a presenting partner for the Savannah Clovers broadcast stream and receive video board and PA exposure. In addition to in-stadium assets, Creature Comforts and Savannah Clovers FC will cross promote each other throughout the Savannah-area in part through the development of the Creature Comforts/Savannah Clovers Pub network. The two parties will develop co-branded video content throughout the year.
“It’s an exciting time to be a Clovers fan!” Said Savannah Clovers FC’s Chief Community Officer Brian Sykes. “We are excited to partner with an incredible brand like Creature Comforts which will provide our supporters with an enjoyable matchday experience and delicious beverages at their beer gardens which will be located inside of Memorial Stadium.”
Shane Folgado, CEO of the Savannah Clovers believes that this partnership will bring tremendous benefits and value for both organizations as well as the Clovers fans
“At Creature Comforts, our purpose is to foster human connection. Our hope is to be a force for good in the community by creating incredible experiences,” said Amanda Sutton, Senior Sales Manager for Creature Comforts. “We are thrilled to be partnering up with the Savannah Clovers to do just that, and we can’t wait to be a part of the special moments that this team and the fans are going to celebrate in the 2023 season!”
Since entering the Savannah beer market in 2019, Athens-based Creature Comforts has become a recognizable and influential brand within the city. Their popular beverages such as Tropicalia, Athena, and Classic City Lager can be found at many of the most popular bars and restaurants being enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
OPTIM ORTHOPEDICS
Savannah Clovers Football Club also announced a multi-year partnership with Optim Orthopedics. Under the agreement Optim Orthopedics will provide a full range of health care services including; consultation on injuries and illnesses, consult and engage in communications related to a return to play, decisions involving Clovers Players, provide the Clovers with a full time athletic trainer, perform initial and exit physicals and 24/7 physician coverage (including all home matches).
Both parties will leverage their ties within the community and position Optim as one of the Clovers’ Presenting Partners. In addition to digital and in-stadium assets, Optim Orthopedics will serve as a lead partner for the stream broadcast of home games. The Pre-Game Injury Report will be presented by Optim Orthopedics as well as co-branded digital content throughout the season. The Optim Orthopedics logo will be present on the sleeve of the Club’s official home, away and training jerseys, providing local and national exposure.
“Optim Orthopedics is a proven regional health care leader who has provided outstanding coverage to other local sports organizations such as the Savannah Ghost Pirates, Savannah Bananas and Clovers official youth soccer partner Savannah United,” said Savannah Clovers FC Chief Community Officer Brian Sykes. “We are so pleased to extend their specialized care to our players and forge important connections in our area.”
“We are excited to partner with the Savannah Clovers as we continue our tradition of serving both the community and the professional sports teams throughout the Low Country and Coastal Empire”, said Mike Butler, CEO Optim Orthopedics. “Our team of sub-specialized orthopedic physicians are here to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate any injury that may occur.”
