Tampa Bay Lightning score a new official bank sponsor

Just in time for the start of the preseason, Vinik Sports Group and Pittsburgh-based PNC bank announced that PNC is the official retail bank sponsor of the Tampa Bay Lightning. 

The sponsorship is the financial institution’s largest local sponsorship investment since entering the Tampa Bay market in 2011, according to a statement.

“Like the Lightning, PNC works hard to positively impact Tampa Bay and the lives of the people who live here,” says Chad Loar, PNC regional president for West and Central Florida in a released statement. “We’re proud to join this winning team and view our relationship as much more than a business opportunity. It’s a chance for us to demonstrate our long-term commitment to the community, more actively engage with our customers and align with a partner that shares our vision for the future of this region.”
