FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Fairfield University Athletics and Yale New Haven Health are expanding their partnership through a new jersey patch sponsorship agreement. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to supporting student-athletes and promoting the health and well-being of the broader community.

As a part of the agreement, the Yale New Haven Health logo will appear on the primary home and away uniforms for Fairfield basketball, lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball and field hockey.

The jersey patch will provide a visible representation of the partnership throughout Fairfield Athletics' competition schedule, including more than 250 live gameday events that will air on platforms including ESPNU, ESPN+, SNY, NESN, the ACC Network and the Big Ten Network.

"Fairfield University Athletics is excited to enhance its partnership with Yale New Haven Health as our first jersey patch sponsor," said Vice President for Athletics Paul Schlickmann. "As a nationally renowned healthcare provider, Yale New Haven Health shares our commitment to the holistic well-being and development of our students and our community members."

"At Yale New Haven Health, we believe that supporting student-athletes means supporting the health, well-being and future of our communities," said Robert Hutchison, Vice President of Marketing & Communications for Yale New Haven Health. "We are proud to build on our relationship with Fairfield University and to be part of an environment that helps students thrive both on and off the field."
