HIF announces a three-year extension to its partnership with the Perth Wildcats, making it the longest standing recognised partnership in NBL history, reaching 15 years.
As the Wildcats prepare for their historic pre-season tour of Japan, and get set to take centre stage at HoopsFest in Perth, HIF Chief Executive Officer Justin James, said he was excited to be re-signing for an additional three years as a Diamond Partner with the club.
“Partnerships between brands lasting 15 years is incredibly rare. Our enduring relationship is a testament to the consistent alignment we see between HIF as a not-for-profit, West Australian based health fund, putting our members first – and the Wildcat’s ‘Stronger as One’ philosophy engrained with their fans and broader WA community.
“We couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait for another action-packed season under the stewardship of new owner, Mark Arena, who’s clear passion for the team will no doubt inspire at the club,” concluded James.
As Perth Wildcats gear up to the 2024 season kick off, proud West Australian, Mark Arena acknowledges the significance of having well-respected WA brands aligned to the Wildcats.
“Both HIF and the Perth Wildcats are community-minded organisations who put their members first with everything they do”, he said.
“HIF will once again provide give-aways to Wildcats fans and members, and celebrate inclusion by supporting the NBL Pride Round as the official game-day partner.
“They will also have prime place on the back of our playing and training jerseys.”
The Wildcats won back-to-back NBL titles in 2019 and 2020 and have 10 championship trophies under their belt – more than any other team in the league – along with 37 NBL finals appearances.
The club boasts close to 10,000 members and enjoys regular game attendances of more than 13,000, along with a loyal army of 300,000+ followers across its social media channels.
Perth Wildcats start their 2024/25 campaign against the South East Melbourne Phoenix Friday, September 20 at HoopsFest. To view the full schedule visit Perth Wildcats Official Website.
