New Presenting Sponsor
K+S is also thrilled to announce a new partnership with the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer. The Red Bulls will be the presenting sponsor of K+S in New York in 2011.
"K+S does an amazing job to showcase some of the greatest stories about the beautiful game that many of us would not otherwise see," Red Bulls Vice President of Marketing Andrew Lafiosca said. "It's an honor to be a part of this festival and together we hope that the New York Red Bulls and K+S can continue to grow the sport here in the greater New York area."
"We couldn't think of a better partner in New York than the Red Bulls," K+S cofounder Greg Lalas said. "After all, it is the top soccer club around. They have also recently shown a commitment to building the game through cultural and grassroots initiatives, and K+S is right in the sweet spot for that. We look forward to working with them to make this year's festival the best yet."
