Gateway First Bank is pleased to announce a new multi-year
partnership with the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities
Association. The comprehensive partnership will include an
integrated marketing presence throughout the year, allowing Gateway
First Bank to engage with and support the students, coaches,
families, and devoted fans of OSSAA member schools.
Within this partnership, Gateway First Bank will be officially
recognized as OSSAA’s Official Banking & Lending Partner and
will be the presenting sponsor of the OSSAA Academic State Champion
Award, which will honor teams and schools excelling in the
classroom.
This fall, OSSAA and Gateway First Bank will hit the road for a
Friday Night Lights tour. During the football regular season,
seven-member schools will be selected to promote community pride
and hometown rivalry traditions throughout the tour. In addition,
Gateway First Bank will also donate $7,000 collectively to the
schools visited to support the athletic programs further.
To cap off the football season, OSSAA students and fans will
have an opportunity to engage with Gateway First Bank to be
included in promotions and potentially win prizes. One of Gateway
First Bank’s promotions incorporates free tickets for Veterans to
the Football State Championships.
“I am thrilled to have Gateway First Bank as a partner.
Together, we will continue to enhance the student-athlete
experience for their successes on and off the field,” said David
Jackson, executive director of the OSSAA.
“Our collaboration with the OSSAA represents a commitment to
empowering student-athletes across Oklahoma,” said Scott Gesell,
CEO of Gateway First Bank. “This partnership reflects our
commitment to education, community, and the spirit of competition.
Strengthening families and communities is our core mission. We look
forward to being a meaningful part of this team for years to
come.”
