TLLE Continues Sponsorship of the ESPN Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl
Teletouch Communications, a leading U.S. wireless services, cellular, and consumer electronics distributor, announced that it will be the Official Cellular Sponsor of the 10th anniversary Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, being played on Saturday, December 29, 2012, at 10:45 a.m. Central. The post-season game will feature qualifying teams from the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA NCAA divisions and will be televised by ESPN and heard on ESPN Radio broadcasting from the recently renovated Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.
Returning for the 7th year as the Official Cellular Sponsor, Teletouch-Hawk Electronics will once again host a free Global Calling and Photo Center for visiting troops attending the game. Men and women of the armed forces will be able to call and send professionally made photos to their friends and family across the globe, at no cost to them. This service has proved very popular with the troops each year.
“We appreciate what Teletouch-Hawk Electronics once again brings to our game,” stated Brant Ringler, executive director of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. “Providing the opportunity for our warriors to communicate with and send pictures to their friends and loved ones anywhere in the world during the holiday season is just a small ‘thank you’ for their dedicated service to our country, and represents what the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl is all about.”
“We are proud to once again be part of this great team of ESPN partners that honor our men and women in uniform,” added T. A. ‘Kip’ Hyde, Jr., Teletouch President and Chief Operating Officer. “With several thousand expected active military, reserve and wounded warrior guests, we are pleased to be able to provide our free calling and photo center. There is no better way to ring in the New Year than by watching a great football game and honoring our great American heroes.”
Owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television, the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl has featured the “armed forces” theme for 6 years now. Patriotic overtones recognizing all five branches of the service are prevalent throughout the game. Past Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowls have included fan-fest areas showcasing armed forces hardware, flyovers, demonstrations by several of the military’s top skydiving teams, the awarding of custom homes to wounded warriors, on-field induction ceremonies, armed forces bands and honor guards, the Teletouch-Hawk Electronics Free Global Calling & Photo Center, and the awarding of the annual “Great American Patriot Award” presented by Armed Forces Insurance.
