Honda and AAM Agree to 10-Year Naming Rights Extension of Honda Center Through 2031

Anaheim Arena Management (AAM) and American #honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) today announced a #partnership extension, securing the naming rights of #hondacenter through 2031. The extension adds 10 years to the existing 15-year #partnership that began in October 2006 between #honda, which last year marked its 60th anniversary in America, and Orange County's premier sports and entertainment venue.

"We are proud to continue our #partnership through the next decade and beyond with #honda," said #hondacenter President/CEO, Tim Ryan. "They are a driving force behind the Anaheim Ducks and #hondacenter, and we are grateful to have a long-standing partner whose idea of 'The Power of Dreams' and commitment to the community align with our own. Together, #honda, the Anaheim Ducks, and #hondacenter will continue to make dreams a reality in the years to come in Anaheim."

Highlights of the #partnership include #hondacenter exterior signage, freeway marquee placement, integration throughout all forms of media, car displays on two exterior corners of the arena, and the continuation of the annual Anaheim Ducks Fan Appreciation Night sweepstakes where one Ducks' fan takes home a new #honda vehicle.

"We are thrilled to extend our #partnership with #hondacenter for another 10 years. We've been partners with the arena and Anaheim Ducks for over 13 years and are pleased to support the vision and financial resources that Henry and Susan Samueli invest in the building to maintain it as a state-of-the-art facility," said Jay Joseph, vice president of the Marketing Division of Automobile Sales at American #honda Motor Co. "For over 60 years #honda has been proud to partner with high profile events and facilities in Southern California, including the Rose Parade, the Aquarium of the Pacific, Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and Disneyland® Resort. We view the #hondacenter as one of these essential SoCal institutions we are pleased to support and help grow."

Through the generous support of #honda and their presenting sponsorships of the Anaheim Ducks Golf Classic and Dux in Tux, the Anaheim Ducks Foundation has helped raise over $4.5 million since the start of the #honda #partnership in 2006. Those funds support the mission of the Anaheim Ducks Foundation to facilitate and support programs that produce positive change for children and families throughout Southern California by providing educational opportunities, broadening access to the sport of hockey, and addressing the health and wellness needs of our community. Honda’s support directly impacts the Anaheim Ducks Foundation and its community programs such as Ducks S.C.O.R.E., Learn to Play and Top Flight, which have served over 300,000 local youth since the #partnership began.
