DFO PARTNERS WITH ONTARIO HOCKEY ASSOCIATION TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY-BASED SPORTS
D
airy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) is continuing to support communitybased sports through a two-year sponsorship agreement with the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). This exclusive partnership will see DFO’s involvement in a number of areas across all four leagues the OHA oversees, which includes the Ontario Junior Hockey League, Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League, Provincial Junior Hockey League and the Senior AAA – Allan Cup Hockey. Part of the partnership is the creation of the OHA Bursary Program, presented by DFO. In each year of the partnership, eight OHA members will receive a bursary of $6,000 each. In addition, DFO will support key programming throughout the calendar year with activations and product distribution, as well as having branding on-site in OHA member-team arenas. “We are proud of our sponsorship agreement with OHA and to provide a chance for youth to achieve their educational goals through sports,” says Cheryl Smith, DFO’s chief executive officer. “The MilkUP program provides a strong and long-lasting effect on youth sports while highlighting the benefits of milk in a healthy and active lifestyle. Winners of the bursary program will demonstrate MilkUPs values of perseverance, originality and heart through their contribution to the sport and to their communities.” “The Ontario Hockey Association is extremely excited for the opportunity to partner with Dairy Farmers of Ontario, and we look forward to building a strong bond between our players and DFO over time,” says OHA executive director David Leger. “The partnership will have a positive impact on the experience of our members in the footprint of the OHA within Ontario.” The agreement begins with the 2021-22 season and runs through the end of the 202223 season.
