New Debit Card Honors Penny Hardaway’s Homecoming to the University of Memphis
February 19 2019 - 12:08PM
As the official bank of the University of Memphis, and in
partnership with One Cent Management, First Tennessee Bank today
unveiled the first-ever Visa® debit card featuring the image of
Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. The card celebrates the return of
Hardaway, a two-time All-American and four-time NBA All-Star, to
his alma mater the University of Memphis as head coach of the
Tigers men’s basketball team. Visit FTB.com/Penny or any First
Tennessee Bank branch to get the card, available today.
“We join the community in celebrating Penny’s
return to Tiger basketball,” said Bo Allen, West Tennessee region
president at First Tennessee Bank. “This is the first time we’ve
ever featured an individual on a product, and Penny was an easy
decision. We look forward to this new era in Memphis basketball
under Penny’s leadership.”
In celebration of the card’s launch, First
Tennessee Bank will also donate $15,000 to the Penny Hardaway
basketball camp to offset the cost for participants. Held in June
at the University of Memphis, the camp gives youth ages 8-17 the
opportunity to sharpen their skills and learn from current Tiger
players and coaches, including Hardaway. First Tennessee Bank’s
donation will reduce the cost of attendance for up to 300
participants, the maximum enrollment for the camp.
“This city and the sport of basketball have
given me so much, and I’m proud to be part of this project that
energizes support for basketball in Memphis,” said Hardaway, CEO of
One Cent Management. “Like basketball, First Tennessee Bank is an
integral part of our community, and I’m grateful that the Bank is
supporting our city’s rich legacy in the sport and investing in the
next generation of local athletes.”
