PORTLAND, Ore., October 26, 2023 — OnPoint Community Credit Union and the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) today announced a 5-year extension of OnPoint’s role as the title sponsor for Oregon high school state championships.
“This partnership with OSAA has been an incredible opportunity to advance our commitment to financial education, and have a positive impact on our community’s future by investing in students today,” said OnPoint President and CEO Rob Stuart. “Oregon high school students benefit every day from the many OSAA activities that enrich their education, instill leadership skills, and teach the importance of giving back to the community. We’re excited to continue playing a role in their journey.”
Under the continued agreement:
- OnPoint will be the title sponsor of all state championship events through 2028, with signage, visibility at all state championships events, online and in official broadcasting of the events, and an integrated OSAA OnPoint state championship logo.
- OnPoint and the OSAA will continue to promote financial education and literacy in Oregon high schools, including offering resources to classrooms across the state.
- OnPoint will be the title sponsor of the annual OSAA Scholar Program[EO1] , which recognizes graduating seniors who have achieved a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA and earned a varsity letter in an OSAA-sanctioned activity at any point in their high school career. OnPoint has already provided $90,500 in scholarship grant money to graduating Oregon high school students through its partnership with the OSAA.
- OnPoint will be the title sponsor of the OSAA Academic All-State Program[EO2] , which recognizes the boys and girls team in each OSAA-sanctioned activity with the highest team grade point average.
- Through donations, OnPoint will support the OSAA Foundation’s Student Assistance Program[EO3] , which helps provide athletic gear to students in need. Since its inception, the program has helped an average of 1,146 students from 100 high schools annually.
“As an association, we are excited to continue our partnership with OnPoint Community Credit Union,” said Peter Weber, OSAA Executive Director. “From the start, OnPoint’s unwavering commitment has allowed the OSAA to provide lasting experiences for Oregon high school students. We look forward to the next five years and working together to positively impact Oregon students, schools, and communities.”
The OSAA sponsors 118 state championships in 19 interscholastic activities including choir, dance/drill, football, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls swimming, boys and girls wrestling, cheerleading, baseball, softball, boys and girls track and field, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls golf, band, orchestra, solo music and speech.
