QuickBridge, a financial services firm serving small- to mid-sized businesses, is pleased to announce its support of National Funding’s effort to send first responders and members of the military to this year’s National Funding Holiday Bowl on Tuesday, December 27. National Funding pledged to match all public ticket donations for local San Diego first responders and military service members up to $100,000. QuickBridge has answered the call for donations and will send 200 law enforcement officers, firefighters, lifeguards, paramedics, emergency supporters and military personnel to this year’s game.

San Diego and the surrounding areas are home to more than seven military bases, as well as dozens of law enforcement agencies, fire departments and extended emergency personnel services. This is the second year National Funding is serving as the title sponsor of the Holiday Bowl, and the first year it will match ticket donations to show its support for first responders in the community.

“QuickBridge is grateful to our first responders and the military for their honorable service to our community and country, and would like to salute those who serve,” said QuickBridge President Ben Gold. “Military and emergency personnel are worthy of our respect and goodwill. We’re proud to support lead sponsor, National Funding, in its goal to send up to 8,000 heroes to enjoy America’s Finest Bowl Experience.”

The National Funding Holiday Bowl will be held on Tuesday, December 27 at 4 p.m. and features a classic college football rivalry between the Pac-12 and Big Ten Conferences. The post-season game has been played annually since 1978 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. The National Funding FanZone kicks off four hours before game time and includes a craft beer garden, local food trucks, interactive football skills challenges and a sports lounge. Access to the pregame party is included with each game ticket. Tickets will be distributed by the National Funding Holiday Bowl directly to first responder groups in San Diego.
