The Connecticut Sun, a WNBA team owned by the Uncasville-based casino operator Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, announced Wednesday that it has partnered with TD Bank to become its financial services sponsor.
Through the multi-year sponsorship, the New Jersey-based bank and the Connecticut Sun will provide free tickets and transportation to games to local youth in underserved communities, including a special trip to TD Garden in Boston for the Connecticut Sun’s game against the Indiana Fever on July 15.
Also, the sponsorship includes spotlighting local entrepreneurs in the region each month through social media posts and in-arena content.
In addition, the Connecticut Sun will offer perks for TD Bank cardholders, including a 15% discount on purchases of merchandise during home games and a “fast lane” entrance to Mohegan Sun Arena.
Further, TD Bank and Connecticut Sun will promote financial education content, including tips for saving money, featuring Connecticut Sun players.
Former UConn basketball star Jen Rizzotti, president of the Connecticut Sun, said the relationship between the team and TD Bank “not only enhances the fan experience but also champions the growth of women’s sports and empowers individuals through financial education — hitting so many points of focus for our organization.”’
TD Bank was the presenting sponsor of the Connecticut Sun’s home opener of the 2025 season on May 18.
Earlier this month, news surfaced that the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority was exploring a possible sale of the Connecticut Sun.
