Slide partners with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa-based home insurance company Slide Insurance announced a multi-year partnership designating Slide as an official homeowners insurance partner of the Buccaneers. Both organizations are committed to leveraging this partnership to amplify their philanthropic efforts in the Tampa Bay community.
As part of their joint initiative, Slide and the Buccaneers will kick off the collaboration with a flag football event alongside Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay on Tuesday, July 16, at the team’s headquarters at the AdventHealth Training Center. Slide employees will participate as “Bigs” for the day, paired with nearly 100 waitlisted children (“Littles”) from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Later in the year, Slide and the Buccaneers will partner on a joint build with Habitat for Humanity in the Tampa Bay area.
As part of the agreement, Slide signage will appear inside Raymond James Stadium this season.
“Supporting and serving our communities is a vital part of our mission. Our philanthropy program, Slide It Forward, is centered around doing good works in our communities and driving positive change. This partnership with the Buccaneers gives us greater reach and resources to support the charitable organizations our employees are passionate about. We are excited to leverage the Buccaneers’ incredible brand recognition to increase awareness of the much-needed insurance options we are providing to homeowners in Tampa and across the state of Florida.” – Bruce Lucas, CEO of Slide.
“Making a positive impact and giving back to our community is a major focus for the Buccaneers and it is always satisfying when we can join forces with other community-minded organizations, like our partners at Slide Insurance, to support the efforts of Big Brothers Big Sisters here in the Tampa Bay area. We look forward to working together with Slide Insurance over the coming years to impact our youth and create more special events to benefit the Tampa Bay community.” – Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford.
