That’s a slam dunk for Phillips 66 and Big 12 Basketball

The recap:  

For the past 34 years, Phillips 66 has been the title sponsor of the Men’s and Women’s Big 12 Basketball Championships, which is the longest-running collegiate sponsorship in history. We are proud to showcase your brand year after year – with a variety of promotions, activations and fan engagement. Through our support of the Big 12 Conference, your site(s) have been established as a business that is setting a foundation of growth for your community’s youth in and beyond the classroom.  

As a part of our Big 12 sponsorship, Phillips 66 is committed to extending our support to the educational foundation for these universities, donating more than $66,000 to the Big 12 Scholarship Fund, celebrating our 26th year supporting higher education.

To accomplish higher education, one must be supported through their developmental years, which is why the Phillips 66 brand has continued to champion its Live to the Full Heroes™, now in its fifth year.
