ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 2, 2026 — As the University of Oregon opens its football season against Boise State on Sept. 5, Edward Jones will kick off its four-year partnership with Oregon Athletics focused on financial education and student-athlete support initiatives as its Official Wealth Management Partner. The firm will serve as the title sponsor of the game, bringing the partnership to life for Duck fans both in-stadium and across digital channels, creating meaningful connections with the Oregon community.

The relationship spans football, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball and track and field, and features initiatives that will connect with student-athletes, fans and the broader Duck community throughout the year. The collaboration will center on a series of financial education workshops open to students and athletes across the athletic department, equipping a generation of athletes to navigate an entirely new era of income and opportunity.

“College athletics creates a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the competition itself – it brings together students, alumni, families and entire communities around shared experiences and traditions,” said Hema Widhani, Principal and Chief Brand, Experience and Marketing Officer at Edward Jones. “That focus on connection is deeply aligned with Edward Jones' purpose of partnering for positive impact. We're proud to support Oregon Athletics while helping student-athletes gain financial knowledge and confidence that can serve them long after their playing careers end.”

"Edward Jones is a first-class organization and an industry leader, and this is a truly integrated partnership with a company that understands the importance of education and has made a significant investment in Oregon Athletics and Duck student-athletes," Oregon Director of Athletics Rob Mullens said. "Robust financial literacy programming is at the center of this partnership, and it will benefit UO student-athletes and our sport programs for years to come."

Fans will see Edward Jones' presence throughout Autzen Stadium starting on Sept. 5 and continuing all season long, including the firm’s logo at each 25-yard line, field-level LED exposure and videoboard features. In addition, for the home opener there will be pre-game and half-time PA announcements and rally towels given out to all attendees. As part of the partnership, the "Autzen Suite Level Presented by Edward Jones" will provide year-round visibility and brand presence, complemented by season-long visibility across Oregon football and basketball broadcasts, digital advertising and Oregon's social media channels, including a branded social media video series planned throughout the year.

Additional details on Edward Jones' presence at Oregon basketball games and future activations will be shared as the athletic year progresses.
