The AVP has continued its development of several promoter relationships, as well as creating new ones to help bring the action of the AVP to additional cities throughout the United States. This year, the AVP has partnered with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), a top sports and entertainment company, to promote all of its Southern California stops. In other markets, local promoter partnerships are responsible for promoting events in their area, including tickets, hospitality, concessions and sponsorships. Event cities with local partners announced to date include: Miami (Miami Heat), Dallas (Hicks Sports Marketing Group), San Francisco (Giants Enterprises), Glendale (Ellman Companies), Atlanta (Atlanta Sports Council), Charleston (Family Circle Cup), Louisville (Blue Entertainment Sports Television (BEST) and Reach Event Marketing, Cincinnati (Reach Event Marketing). AVP's strategic alliances with top local promoters allows the Tour to gain a stronger presence in event markets as well as year-round local marketing and outreach for each event.
AVP continues to work with its blue chip sponsor base that includes internationally recognized brands such as Crocs, Anheuser-Busch, Gatorade, McDonald's, Jose Cuervo, Hilton Hotels & Hilton Garden Inn, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Nautica and Wilson. The AVP also has local sponsorships in various Tour cities.
"We are excited to announce our 2008 tour schedule, and our 25th anniversary as an organization," said Leonard Armato, CEO and Tour Commissioner. "This upcoming year will be an especially exciting one, as fans will be able to watch the teams that will represent the United States in the 2008 Olympics right on their home soil and in their hometowns. I'm especially excited about our new partnership with AEG for our Southern California stops. We're confident that this new arrangement, and this year as a whole, will bring great things for our Tour."
