URBANDALE, IA - April 20, 2016 - iWireless announced that it will not extend its sponsorship of the iWireless Center in Moline, IL. The ten-year partnership will end in July 2017.
"iWireless is proud of our partnership with the Illinois Quad City Civic Center Authority and the iWireless Center, which enhanced our presence in the Quad Cities area during the past 10 years," said Craven Shumaker, President and CEO of iWireless. "Looking forward, we will focus on other opportunities to serve customers in all of our markets."
The sponsorship dates back to 2005, when iWireless acquired naming rights and changed the venue name from The Mark of the Quad Cities to the iWireless Center.
"We appreciate the staff and patrons of the iWireless Center, and all that we gained from this valuable sponsorship," said Shumaker. "We look forward to our remaining time as the sponsor of the iWireless Center."
"Our incredible partnership with iWireless over the past decade has been mutually beneficial," states iWireless Center Executive Director, Scott Mullen. "It has allowed us to continually reinvest in building improvements that keep our venue among the top mid-size arenas in the country while helping iWireless build its brand recognition on both a regional and national level. We are very fortunate to have had such a tremendous partner and we will enjoy the remaining 15 months we have together while we continue to evaluate future corporate sponsorship opportunities."
