RICHMOND, VA – Richmond 2015, the organizer of the 2015 UCI Road World Championships, announced today that TowneBank will join its team of major corporate partners of the nine-day cycling event that will be held in Richmond in September.
TowneBank, a new presence in the Richmond banking scene, recently acquired Richmond-based Franklin Federal Savings Bank and is one of the largest banks headquartered in Virginia.
Wilson Flohr, CEO of Richmond 2015, said TowneBank will be designated the "Official Bank Sponsor" of the 2015 UCI Road World Championships, which is expected to attract a total of 450,000 spectators from the Richmond region and across the globe over the nine days of racing held September 19-27.
As a major corporate sponsor, TowneBank will partner with Richmond 2015’s Société 2015, a 700-plus member-strong, local business engagement program designed to help the local business community maximize the opportunity presented by the UCI Road World Championships. Other TowneBank sponsored events include partnering with Richmond 2015 on "Happenings Around Towne," a community calendar of events that local businesses can use to post their World Championship-themed events. TowneBank will also be involved in helping spectators "getting around Towne" with shuttle services and a bike valet service to assist fans who want to use bike transportation to view the races.
T. Patrick "Pat" Collins, president of TowneBank Richmond, said TowneBank places a priority on becoming involved in the communities where it does business. "The partnership with Richmond 2015 is the perfect way for us to introduce our community banking philosophy to our new neighbors in the greater Richmond area and to support Richmond as it welcomes the world."
Flohr added, "We’re excited to welcome TowneBank to Richmond and help introduce it to the worldwide audience for the 2015 UCI Road World Championships."
