PHOENIX — The Arizona Super Bowl LVII Host Committee announced Monday that Freeport-McMoRan has come on board as an official partner.
Freeport will host the 100 Yards of Education: A STEM Playbook for Youth event at State Farm Stadium in January. The event, for 1,000 fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade students from the Maricopa County area will educate on career opportunities in sports related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
In a prepared statement, Freeport CEO Richard Adkerson said, “Freeport is pleased to partner with the Host Committee not only in helping to bring a large economic revenue-generating event to our State, but also in focusing efforts on high-quality education and skills development needed to drive economic opportunity for Arizonans.”
The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee is a private, nonprofit Arizona corporation responsible for planning and executing a successful Super Bowl LVII in 2023. The Host Committee serves as liaison between the NFL and all regional efforts, culminating with the game in 2023 at State Farm Stadium, home to the Arizona Cardinals. This is the fourth time Arizona is hosting the Super Bowl, following 1996, 2008 and 2015.
