HARTFORD, Conn. – Trinity College Athletics has announced a new partnership with RevUp Property Representation, a nationally recognized corporate partnerships and sports marketing firm, to support the development of new sponsorship opportunities and strategic business relationships for the College's athletic programs.
The partnership marks the first comprehensive corporate sponsorship representation agreement in Trinity Athletics history and represents a crucial step in creating untapped resources that support the over 700 Bantam student-athletes competing across the College's 32 varsity programs.
Founded in 2007, RevUp specializes in helping colleges and universities identify and secure corporate sponsorships, naming rights opportunities, and strategic marketing partnerships. The company has developed a growing presence throughout the Northeast, working with institutions including Fordham University, Sacred Heart University, Mercy University, and Babson College.
Through the agreement, RevUp will work alongside Trinity Athletics leadership to create meaningful partnerships with regional and national organizations that align with the College's mission, values, and commitment to academic and athletic excellence.
"Trinity Athletics is excited to partner with RevUp to begin building a portfolio of athletic sponsorship and partnership opportunities throughout Greater Hartford and beyond," shared Director of Athletics and Recreation,
Gavin Viano. "Our program welcomes thousands of visitors to campus annually to attend or participate in hundreds of live sporting events, including youth, high school, and master's level athletes, in addition to our intercollegiate offerings. We're ready to embrace the evolving landscape of college athletics, in support of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community; with RevUp as a part of our team."
RevUp's recent success across collegiate athletics includes helping institutions unlock new sponsorship revenue and create enhanced experiences for fans, alumni, and student-athletes. At Sacred Heart University, RevUp played an integral role in developing innovative corporate partnerships, including securing the athletics department's first-ever jersey patch sponsorships and supporting naming-rights opportunities that have increased visibility and resources for Pioneer Athletics.
For Trinity, the partnership creates an opportunity to engage businesses throughout Greater Hartford, Connecticut, and beyond while further elevating the visibility of the Bantam brand. Sponsorship opportunities will include venue signage, digital and social media integrations, event activations, sponsorship of athletics content and broadcasts, hospitality opportunities, and other strategic marketing initiatives.
"Trinity has a remarkable athletic tradition and a community that genuinely cares about its student-athletes," said Mike Fiorentino, Founder and CEO of RevUp Property Represenation.
"What excites me about this partnership is the opportunity to build on that foundation and introduce businesses to everything Trinity has to offer. We believe there is tremendous, untapped potential in Division III athletics, and Trinity is exactly the kind of institution where we can make a meaningful impact. We look forward to working with Director of Athletics and Recreation,
Gavin Viano, Senior Associate Athletic Director,
Angelo Bruno, and the entire Trinity Athletics team as we begin this new chapter together. Welcome to the RevUp family, Trinity College!"
As a member of the prestigious New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), Trinity Athletics has established a tradition of excellence through championship success, academic achievement, and community engagement. The partnership with RevUp is designed to complement those strengths while creating new opportunities for future growth.
