San Antonio, TX (October 12, 2021) – Firstmark Credit Union is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with the five-time NBA championship San Antonio Spurs. The partnership gives the credit union additional visibility and expands its reach to help more people better their lives.

Spurs School Employee Appreciation Program
Starting with the 2021-22 season and extending through 2023, Firstmark will present the Spurs School Employee Appreciation Program, where San Antonio school employees receive exclusive access to discounted seats at all Spurs home games. RC Buford, CEO of SS&E, and Nathanael Tarwasokono, president and CEO of Firstmark Credit Union, launched the partnership speaking together at a Firstmark all-staff event on Monday.
“Teamwork is a powerful thing and can multiply our impact,” said Buford. “We’re excited to join forces with Firstmark to celebrate and support much-deserving teachers in our city.”
Firstmark will recognize a total of ten local teachers at home games throughout the 2021-22 season. Each teacher will receive Spurs home game tickets and a Spurs and Firstmark prize pack. Fans can nominate their favorite teacher online at spurs.com/firstmark.

The Power to Make an Impact Together
Beginning with a soft rollout, the credit union introduced a new checking product with a $1 impact fee contributed to the Firstmark Credit Union Foundation, a 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to supporting the vital work of those in the education community.
