DURHAM, NC – The Durham Bulls today announced a new partnership with North Carolina’s largest family dental practice Lane & Associates | North Carolina Family Dentistry | 877-LANE-DDS. This partnership will welcome Lane & Associates Family Dentistry (LAA) as the official dentist of the Durham Bulls.
LAA will have their brand displayed on the iconic ‘Blue Monster’ wall as well as on the Bulls’ batting center that was added to the stadium as part of the multi-million-dollar upgrades.
“We’re happy to add yet another major local brand to the Bulls partnership portfolio this season. The Lane & Associates team brought excitement and energy to our discussions, and we knew instantly this would be a great partnership for both parties”, said Nick Bavin, Senior Director of Business Development at CBC Sports; owners of the Durham Bulls. “The newly named Lane & Associates Batting Center acts as an elite level practice facility for the players, but also a learning space for schools, which fits perfectly with the Lane & Associates mission. Combine that with Lane & Associates involvement with such family favorites as Kids Run the Bases and the FestiBull of Lights winter event and we have a great partnership”.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a legendary organization” added Dr. Lane, Chairman and Owner of Lane & Associates. “The Durham Bulls are deeply rooted in community and tradition, and we’re proud to support their players while connecting with fans in a meaningful way! Fans can expect exciting in-game promotions, giveaways and interactive experiences throughout the season”.
