“We are excited to partner with Egg Farmers of Ontario as they join our Hamilton Sports Group family,” said Kyle Lohnes, Vice President, Corporate Partnerships & Retail, Hamilton Sports Group. “We both share a commitment to inspiring the next generation of athletes in our community with EFO supporting our Fit with Forge program.”
In addition to these interactive programs that engage Ontario students, in-stadium advertising with EFO’s well-known Get CrackingTM logo during Forge FC and Tiger-Cats games and designation as an Official Sponsor of the 2023 Grey Cup Festival is another element of this sponsorship.
“Egg Farmers of Ontario is thrilled to unite with Hamilton Sports Group to not only support such a devoted community franchise, but it gives us the opportunity to connect with students to promote an active and healthy lifestyle,” said Scott Helps, EFO Chair.
