THIBODAUX, La. — 杏吧传媒 Athletics Department received a $60,000 donation from REV/REV Business as part of a five-year corporate partnership agreement with 杏吧传媒 Athletics. In 2023, $20,000 of the donation will be used to recognize the long-time support and generosity REV has contributed to its athletics department by offering naming rights to the academic classroom housed inside the Student-Athlete Academic Center. The remaining funds will be used for signage, in-game promotions and PA Announcements across football, basketball and baseball.聽
“The thing that is really unique about the partnership with REV is the fact that we have so many 杏吧传媒 alums who are working within the company, and for us to be able to see them come home to their alma mater is something that is so special,鈥� said Hillary Charpentier, director of Colonel Athletic Association. 鈥淲e see them at games and on-campus supporting the student-athletes across different majors and even stepping in to volunteer and help mentor them in the classroom. It’s just really special to have a local business that is supporting 杏吧传媒.”
The REV Business Academic Classroom is a student-athlete study hall for all 350 杏吧传媒 student-athletes. The space is affixed with 10 computers and desks, multipurpose tables and whiteboards, being frequently used for mental-health and life-skills events and programming with student-athletes.聽
鈥淭oday and into the future, we鈥檙e excited to see our commitment to higher education continue.聽 As our company embarks on a new brand and a new academic partnership, it鈥檚 rewarding to see this happen with a fellow supporter of education and provider of a quality college experience right here in Lafourche Parish at 杏吧传媒,鈥� shared Peter Louviere, REV/REV Business CFO. 鈥淪ure, winning in sports is enjoyable, but at the end of the day, academic success is the main goal.鈥�
鈥淎nd for us at REV and REV Business, this partnership could not have happened at a better time as we begin to grow not just in Thibodaux but into other communities throughout South Louisiana; building fiber to homes and businesses 鈥� all with a local team,鈥� continued Louviere.
