New multi-year contract between LG and the Titans demonstrates continued commitment to local economy and community programming in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA and the Tennessee Titans have signed a multi-year extension of their partnership, which will continue to focus on providing support to local businesses, driving economic growth and creating community programs and events.
At a special signing ceremony at the Titans' training facility in Nashville, Titans Chief Operating Officer Daniel Werly and Titans alumni Jevon Kearse and Keith Bulluck presented LG Electronics North America CEO Chris Jung, an honorary football jersey and commemorative football. Later at the LG home appliance factory in Clarksville, more than 900 employees had the chance to meet Kearse and Bulluck to celebrate the renewal of the contract. Also at the event, Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden and Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts recognized LG's role as a major employer and good corporate citizen in Middle Tennessee.
"LG continues to exemplify the traits we look for in an impactful and strategic partnership that benefits both our fans and the broader Tennessee community," said Werly. "We always aim to work alongside businesses who share our commitment to service, as well as offering an excellent customer and fan experience – LG is a perfect representation of those values. We are proud to sign-on for three more years of collaboration."
Jung said the Titans' values align with LG's. "We believe in investing in the communities where we live and work, and this collaboration allows us to directly support Tennesseans and the causes they care about with partners that are also strongly committed to Tennessee. Over the years, we have had the pleasure of giving back together through programs such as Community Care Cycle and Taste of Tennessee, and providing disaster relief efforts when unfortunate situations arise."
