White Sox announce partnership with TransUnion

The Chicago White Sox announced a multi-year agreement with TransUnion, a leading global risk and information solutions provider based in Chicago. Through the partnership, TransUnion is the presenting sponsor of the Hawk "Solo" bobblehead, which commemorates the iconic play-by-play announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson's 33rd and final season in the broadcast booth. The first 20,000 fans to enter Guaranteed Rate Field on Star Wars Night (Saturday, May 19) will take home the commemorative bobblehead.
In addition, the partnership features in-park branding, including scoreboard and homeplate rotational signage throughout the season.
  
"This is a fantastic opportunity for consumers to get exposed to our brand and learn more about the importance of good credit health," said Julie Springer, TransUnion executive vice president of marketing. "The level of passion and excitement the White Sox deliver to their fans is the same that they bring to this partnership."
 
The White Sox and TransUnion will celebrate the partnership with a pep rally for employees at its Chicago headquarters. The event will feature White Sox giveaways and an appearance from Sox mascot Southpaw.
 
Through the partnership, TransUnion employees also will have access to special ticket offers for six select games throughout the season. In addition, employees will receive a discount by presenting a TransUnion I.D. on those select games at the Chicago Sports Depot, the White Sox retail store located near Gate 5 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
"We are thrilled to welcome a globally recognized brand with strong roots in Chicago like TransUnion to the White Sox family," said Brooks Boyer, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing. "We look forward to jumpstarting our partnership with TransUnion as we celebrate the start of the season at their headquarters."
