The Provident Bank is pleased to announce a new two-year corporate sponsorship agreement with Sky Blue FC Soccer Team of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The partnership includes the launch of a “rewards” based program, in which fans who use their Provident Bank Debit MasterCardâ will receive discounted rates for ticket purchases.

“We are excited to be partnering with Sky Blue FC and supporting women athletes from across the country,” said Diana Braga, Public Relations Manager, Provident Bank. “At Provident, we focus on the communities we serve and this partnership allows us to expand our Provident4Women effort of educating women and all fans on the importance of personal finance.”

Established in 2006, the mission of Sky Blue Soccer is based on an integrated program that allows players to progress in soccer from the youth levels to the amateur ranks to professional status. Sky Blue FC’s roster features United States National Team stars Christie Rampone and Kelley O’Hara, in addition to National Team players from Canada, Mexico, Japan, Denmark and Australia. Games are played primarily on Saturdays and Sundays from April to September at Yurcak Field, which is located on the campus of Rutgers University.
