Bank of America Hosts Pep Rally to Kick-Off Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Basketball Tournament27 February 2006
WHAT: As the "Official Bank of the CIAA," Bank of America will host a
pep rally to kick-off the Central Intercollegiate Athletic
Association (CIAA) Basketball Tournament and generate excitement
for the competing teams. At the rally, Bank of America will
donate $200,000 to the CIAA Scholarship Fund, which benefits
students attending CIAA member institutions.
The CIAA is the nation's oldest historically black athletic
conference consisting of 12 colleges and universities. Bank of
America's support of the CIAA furthers the bank's strong
commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, to
which the bank has contributed more than $15 million in recent
years.
Bank of America's three-year sponsorship of the CIAA also serves
Charlotte's economy. CIAA officials estimate that more than
110,000 people will attend this year's tournament, which is
expected to result in $12 million in revenues to city retailers
in the first year alone.
