GENEVA, N.Y., Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheribundi Inc., is not only the leading producer of tart cherry juice products, it's the top drink choice of elite athletes including New England Patriots Jason and Devin McCourty, Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman, and the CrossFit World Champion Team Mayhem Freedom. Building on this momentum of success, Cheribundi is extending their sponsorship with ESPN by adding seven College Football Bowl Games and six NCAA early-season college basketball events to their sponsorship roster this year.

"We're excited to further our involvement with ESPN by adding additional College Football Bowl Games and NCAA Basketball Tip-off Classics to our sponsorship this season," says Cheribundi CEO Steve Pear. "Expanding this collegiate sponsorship is a natural extension as we continue to increase our partnerships in the sports community, including the 240 college and professional sports teams that drink Cheribundi as part of their training regimen."

Building relationships and sharing the natural benefits of tart cherries have been key to Cheribundi's tremendous success in the sports world and accelerating brand awareness. This is the second year that Cheribundi will be the proud sponsor of the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl which has extra significance because of the special connection they've made with ESPN, the Chamber of Boca Raton and the surrounding community.

Pete Derzis, Senior Vice President and General Manager at ESPN shares, "Cheribundi is a great fit for athletes across all college sports. We're excited to broaden our relationship with Cheribundi and support them in their involvement in the ESPN owned and operated football and basketball events they are activating this season."
