Dublin, Ohio – 6/8/2023 – Ohio Premier, a leading youth soccer organization committed to fostering athletic development and character-building, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Wendy’s®, a globally acclaimed fast-food chain, as its newest corporate sponsor. This collaboration reflects a shared vision of promoting community engagement, youth empowerment, and sporting excellence.
As a highly regarded youth soccer organization, Ohio Premier has consistently prioritized the holistic development of its players, emphasizing both athletic growth and character-building. The addition of Wendy’s® as corporate sponsor aligns perfectly with Ohio Premier’s values and further enhances their capacity to provide unparalleled opportunities to young athletes. Through this partnership, Wendy’s will provide invaluable support to the club’s operations, enabling them to enhance training facilities, expand outreach programs, and deliver exceptional experiences to its members
Wendy’s long-standing reputation for excellence in both business and community involvement makes them an ideal partner for Ohio Premier. Wendy’s commitment to supporting the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption as its charity of choice resonates deeply with the values espoused by Ohio Premier. Founded by the late Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas who was adopted, the Foundation’s mission is to dramatically increase the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems. More than 13,000 children who once lingered in foster care now have a safe, permanent home, with help from Wendy’s and the Foundation’s caring community of supporters across the United States and Canada.
Ohio Premier, Wendy’s and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption share a commitment to making a positive impact in our community and a belief that every child deserves to grow up in a permanent, loving family. To help raise awareness of the urgent need for foster care adoption, the Foundation’s logo will appear on Ohio Premier jerseys for the 2023–2025 seasons.
Ohio Premier expresses its deep gratitude to Wendy’s for their belief in the organization’s mission and for giving back to the community. The sponsorship will enable Ohio Premier to continue its tradition of excellence and positively impact the lives of countless young athletes
