Every SEC university has different needs, so each will be able to identify where the money will have the most impact, but everyone has the same goals — increasing the visibility of the women who compete today and supporting youth-focused programming in their local community to keep more girls in the game. Because when more girls can play, everyone wins.

“T-Mobile is so inspired by the drive and spirit of female student athletes who compete on behalf of the SEC and at other colleges and universities across the country,” said Jon Freier, president, T-Mobile’s Consumer Group. “As the Official Wireless Sponsor of the SEC, we’re proud to support the efforts of the schools and conference to help drive change for the incredible females who compete on behalf of the SEC today, and the young girls who dream of doing so in the future.”

T-Mobile will present a $700,000 check to the SEC as part of the first-ever T-Mobile SEC Championship Concert on Friday, Dec. 3 at Georgia International Plaza outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, to get the party started at SEC Championship weekend.
