MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 24, 2023 – The Orange Blossom Classic Committee proudly heralds the return of Wells Fargo as the Official Bank Sponsor of the highly anticipated Denny’s Orange Blossom Classic presented by Ready Life (OBC). This partnership is marked by the unveiling of an exclusive limited-edition OBC HBCU Legends debit card, a testament to Wells Fargo’s commitment to financial education within the community. As the countdown to “The Reunion,” the affectionate name for the 3rd edition of the revived OBC, gains momentum, Wells Fargo’s efforts to foster financial empowerment take center stage.
Honoring Legacy Through Artistry
Wells Fargo’s dedication to preserving the legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) is resounding through the unveiling of a unique limited edition OBC HBCU Legends debit card. Crafted with meticulous attention, this debit card serves as a tribute to the cherished HBCU Reunion Experience at the Orange Blossom Classic. The card’s design is a homage to the historic event and its profound influence on the HBCU community. Starting from September 1 through the end of 2023, Wells Fargo customers who share a passion for the Orange Blossom Classic and HBCUs can order this exclusive debit card.
“Dewey Norwood, Senior Diversity & Inclusion Consultant at Wells Fargo, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Wells Fargo is excited to continue our relationship with the OBC. We’re looking forward to including OBC in our HBCU Legends Collection to allow Wells Fargo customers to express their passion for the OBC and HBCUs overall. We’ll also have leaders in the Miami market available to engage with students, alumni, and fans during Labor Day weekend at various OBC events.”
Empowering Diversity and Leadership
Partially supported by Wells Fargo, the Elevation Experience presented by Visit Lauderdale, a diversity and inclusion initiative focused on women in leadership and entrepreneurship, has been a transformative journey leading up to the OBC showdown between Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Jackson State University (JSU). Wells Fargo’s involvement extends beyond the game, encompassing additional financial programming leading up to and following the OBC. This commitment resonates with the celebration of financial empowerment.
Kendra Bulluck, Executive Director of the Orange Blossom Classic Committee, expressed her excitement, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Wells Fargo back as the Official Bank Sponsor of the Orange Blossom Classic. Their dedication to financial empowerment aligns perfectly with our mission to uplift and celebrate HBCUs, and the introduction of their unique limited edition LEGENDS debit card adds an exciting and impactful dimension to this partnership.”
Culmination of Excellence
The crescendo of excitement reaches its peak on Sunday, September 3rd, as Hard Rock Stadium transforms into a arena of athletic prowess when FAMU and JSU clash at 3 PM. With the game broadcast live on ESPN, audiences across the nation will witness the intensity and camaraderie of this historic event.
Wells Fargo’s commitment to financial empowerment remains steadfast as attendees embark on the journey leading to “The Reunion.” In tandem with the Orange Blossom Classic, Wells Fargo aims to create an indelible experience for all participants of this iconic event.
