September 10, 2024, Houston, Texas (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With great pleasure, the Inaugural Everest North American Curling Club Championships announces World Financial Group (WFG) as an Official Sponsor of this ground-breaking competition, which will take place in Colorado on September 17–18. The Championships, which will feature the best amateur curling competition, will be shown live on TSN in Canada and CBS Sports Network in the United States at 6 p.m. MT/8 p.m. ET.
The Everest North American Curling Club Championships, organised by Everest Funeral Concierge in partnership with Curling Canada and USA Curling, bring together the best club teams from both nations and expand the competition to a North American level. A long-standing gap in amateur curling will be filled as this will be the first time the US and Canadian Club Champions have had the chance to compete for a North American Championship.
WFG has been a tremendous supporter of curling for decades, and an incredible partner for Everest for many years, so we are thrilled to have them as part of this exciting new chapter in curling,” said Mark Duffey, President and CEO, Everest Funeral Concierge. Adding, “as with everything WFG supports, this innovative Championship will elevate the community and provide new pathways for the sport.”
“We are excited to come alongside Everest and sponsor the first-ever North American Curling Club Championships games,” said President of WFG, Todd Buchanan. “WFG has a beloved history with the sport, sponsoring curling events in Canada in previous years. Some of our Canadian agents are renowned curling athletes, who we proudly support and continue to watch their professional career flourish. It’s great to see the curling ‘fever’ has caught on in the U.S. and we welcomed the opportunity to support this premier event.”
WFG is a leading provider of financial services in the US and Canada. The organization offers best-in-class solutions to individuals and families via life insurance, retirement and wealth-building strategies designed to protect middle-class North Americans. Its network of independent agents is one of the fastest growing entrepreneurial opportunities across both countries.
The Championships break new ground in the sport, catering specifically to club-level curlers who may not have the time or resources to compete at the professional level but who have the skills to represent their country at a higher level. The event opens an exciting avenue for these curlers to represent their countries.
