Sun Life Renews Royals Partnership Through 2030

---

The partnership, which first began in 2017, allows Sun Life to continue building on previous community programming, including youth fitness and oral health programs, and fundraising to support local non-profits in Kansas City.

Sun Life U.S. has renewed its partnership with the Kansas City Royals for five years, through the 2030 baseball season. The partnership, which first began in 2017, allows Sun Life to continue building on previous community programming, including youth fitness and oral health programs, and fundraising to support local non-profits in Kansas City.

“We are pleased to renew our partnership with the Royals and find new ways to make a positive impact in Kansas City,” said David Healy, president, Sun Life U.S. “We have a large office here and believe strongly in supporting the communities where our employees live and work, particularly in ways that benefit those in need. We are hopeful that our work with the Royals and our focus on improving the oral health of all will resonate with the Kansas City community and create excitement among the great fan base.”

With this new agreement, Sun Life and the Royals will collaborate with TeamSmile, a national non-profit that leverages relationships with sports teams and universities to hold large-scale dental clinics for local kids from underserved communities. Sun Life supports TeamSmile events across the country and helped launch the Dental Home Project, which establishes relationships for underserved youth with local dentists.

Throughout the baseball season, Sun Life and the Royals will conduct the “Every Single Smile” campaign, which will generate a $50 donation from Sun Life to TeamSmile for each Royals single during the regular season. The Royals and Sun Life will also host an additional TeamSmile clinic this fall, increasing access to oral healthcare for local children in need.

“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Sun Life and build on the meaningful work we’ve accomplished together over the past several years,” said Alex Schulte, vice president of Corporate Partnerships, Kansas City Royals. “Their commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community aligns closely with our values, and we’re excited to keep working together to make a lasting impact across Kansas City.”

First signing on as a Royals sponsor in 2017, Sun Life and The Kansas City Royals Foundation have run annual health clinics for local youth, and the season-long #StrikeoutDiabetes fundraising campaign to support health programs at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City. The agreement with the Royals also gives Sun Life top-tier game experience and hosting opportunities. Sun Life is also a sponsor and partner of the Boston Celtics and Maine Celtics.
