ST. LOUIS, March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) announced today a partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball (MLB). The new relationship underscores the company's investment in the St. Louis community, where Equifax Workforce Solutions is headquartered.
One of the most successful teams in baseball history, the Cardinals have won 11 World Series championships. Because the fans are so loyal, the Cardinals have game attendance numbers that are among the MLB's highest.
"Equifax is a proud MLB supporter in Atlanta, and we are thrilled to now support the Cardinals as well," said Dann Adams, president of Equifax Workforce Solutions. "Equifax has a solid history of helping consumers get access to credit that helps them meet their financial goals and of delivering solutions that enable employers to achieve their compliance and business objectives. With the strength of the Cardinals' fan base in mind, our alliance with the organization will increase awareness of our industry-leading consumer and commercial services and build on the trusted Equifax brand."
As part of this multi-year agreement, Equifax will have a noted presence at Busch Stadium, including highly visible signage in right field on the famous wagon-gate doors that will help welcome attendees from across the nation. Equifax will also celebrate its community spirit and the St. Louis roots of its Workforce Solutions business by hosting an employee game night and sponsoring a give-away night for fans during the season.
"We are proud to partner with Equifax," said Thane vanBreusegen, vice president of Corporate Sales and Marketing and Stadium Entertainment for the St. Louis Cardinals. "Both organizations have a longstanding presence in St. Louis and a shared goal of supporting our community."
Adams added, "Our St. Louis-based associates have always been avid Cardinals fans. Equifax is a legacy company investing in a legacy organization, and we are excited to stand together with the Cardinals.
