Jacksonville, FL –April 19, 2018 – EverBank, a division of TIAA, FSB, announced its renewed commitment to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the community at Thursday's State of the Franchise event. As EverBank takes on its new name, TIAA Bank, EverBank Field will be renamed TIAA Bank Field.
The upcoming season will bring exciting changes to the Jaguars partnership. The name change will take effect this summer, including an update to all stadium signage and the launch of an inspiring community partnership with the Jaguars.
"Our bank's relationship with the Jaguars – on and off the field – goes back to 2010, and we're very proud to continue this great partnership for years to come at TIAA Bank Field," said Blake Wilson, president and chief executive officer of EverBank. "Jacksonville has always been our bank's home, and together with the Jaguars we're committed to continuing to make a difference in the communities where we work and live."
Together, the Jaguars and EverBank are launching the One Team. One Home. initiative. The two organizations will each contribute $1 million over the next five years to help build or repair homes in Northeast Florida. The homes will be part of a collaboration with various Habitat for Humanity affiliates, TIAA, EverBank, and Jaguars employees and players, as well as fans and volunteers.
