The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has announced an extended relationship with longtime athletics partner, Outrigger Resorts & Hotels. The Honolulu-based hospitality company will continue as a top-level Diamond sponsor for UH Athletics.

Outrigger, an official hospitality sponsor of UH Athletics, also will receive brand visibility in a variety of elements throughout the length of its renewed agreement.

“We’re elated to have Outrigger within our athletics corporate partner family, and we appreciate their unwavering commitment to our program year after year,” said UH Director of Athletics David Matlin. “The dedicated support they bring to UH Athletics is tremendous, and we’re proud to call them a Diamond partner.”

Outrigger’s dedication is evident through numerous titled pillar events at the university including:

  • Football – OUTRIGGER-sponsored regular-season game
  • Men’s Basketball – The OUTRIGGER Rainbow Classic
  • Women’s Volleyball – The OUTRIGGER Volleyball Challenge
  • Men’s Volleyball – The OUTRIGGER Challenge
  • Softball – The OUTRIGGER Hawaii Invitational

“It’s an honor to continue our partnership with University of Hawai’i Athletics in a meaningful way – supporting our student-athletes and the community while bolstering the University’s athletic program,” said Outrigger President and CEO Jeff Wagoner.

The ongoing relationship between UH Athletics and Outrigger continues to be managed by Hawaii Sports Properties, the university’s athletics multimedia rightsholder and Honolulu-based LEARFIELD team. LEARFIELD is a leading media and technology services company in intercollegiate athletics.
