USA Wrestling reaches new heights with American Airlines

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Wrestling is returning to the skies in a newly announced extension of its sponsorship deal with American Airlines.

American Airlines has been an Official Sponsor of USA Wrestling since 2006.

The sponsorship deal consists of various marketing avenues for American Airlines including recognition in USA Wrestler magazine, on TheMat.com website and at USA Wrestling events.

In return, USA Wrestling will receive in-kind support through both domestic and international airline tickets.

"I'm thrilled that one the world's largest airlines has continued its commitment to the world's oldest and greatest sport," said USA Wrestling's Director of Development Larry Nugent. "This partnership allows USA Wrestling to achieve its mission in many ways. This has allowed us to supply flights to our State Chapters for the annual State Leaders Summit, to help our national team athletes and coaches travel for competition and training and to provide travel opportunities for our national staff."

American Airlines is in business to provide safe, dependable and friendly air transportation to their customers, along with numerous related services, in the hopes that they will fly them again and again. American Airlines works very hard to make the entire experience with them a positive one.

"This is a win-win partnership," said Roger Frizzell, vice president of Corporate Communications & Advertising at American Airlines. "USA Wrestling continues to deliver innovative marketing opportunities for us to reach this influential audience, and I know the wrestling community is extremely loyal to brands that support this great sport."

"We are excited and honored to have American Airlines in the USA Wrestling family as a corporate partner," said Rich Bender, Executive Director of USA Wrestling. "American Airlines approaches their business everyday with similar tenacity as American wrestlers as they prepare to become World and Olympic Champions. We are confident this partnership has provided significant mutual benefits for both organizations and we hope this will continue long into the future."
