KENT, Ohio – Kent State University Athletics is proud to announce a significant new partnership with Dabos, a prominent supplier in the science, biotech, medical, and manufacturing sectors. This partnership represents a unique fusion of industry and sports, bringing innovation to the forefront of both the business and athletic landscapes. Through this collaboration, Dabos is set to become a visible and influential presence within Kent State's athletic venues and community.
The partnership will feature the Dabos logo prominently displayed on the Kent State football field, a prime location that will reach thousands of fans and viewers each game. This branding move is part of a broader strategy for Dabos to increase its visibility and integrate more deeply into the community through athletics. Additionally, new marketing assets are being developed that will showcase Dabos' support for Kent State's mission to foster academic and athletic excellence.
"The new NCAA ruling has provided an additional revenue opportunity to support our student-athletes which we are thrilled to implement via our partnership with Van Wagner and Dabos," said Vice President and Director of Athletics Randale L. Richmond. "The additional visibility not only provides exposure for Dabos, but also signifies a focus on new opportunities to engage with our strategic partners."
Dabos has already been an active partner with Kent State's College of Aeronautics and Engineering (CAE), where it has contributed to key initiatives, including sponsoring career fairs, supporting the Center for Advanced Air Mobility, and being a primary sponsor for the university's Advanced Air Mobility Workshop. The company's involvement in these programs reflects its commitment to educational advancement and technological innovation, and this partnership with Athletics is a natural extension of that relationship.
By aligning itself with Kent State Athletics, Dabos continues to expand its impact beyond the academic sphere into the realm of community engagement. This move underscores the company's commitment to supporting student-athletes while building a stronger connection with the university's alumni and fan base. The partnership also provides Dabos with a unique platform to reach a broader audience in Northeast Ohio, combining sports, education, and community.
James Burge, General Manager of Kent State Athletics Partnerships, shared his enthusiasm for the new collaboration: "We are thrilled to welcome Dabos to the Golden Flashes family. Their commitment to innovation and education is aligned with the values we strive to uphold within our athletic programs. This partnership will not only enhance the fan experience but also highlight Dabos' role as a key supporter of the university."
This new partnership will make its debut at the upcoming Kent State football games, where fans will see Dabos' branding displayed prominently on the field and other marketing assets throughout the stadium. This partnership is expected to grow in the coming years as both organizations look for ways to bring more value to Kent State's students, faculty, alumni, and supporters.
