The Washington Nationals announced today that GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company), a Maryland-based company, has become the first Founding Partner of the team as they enter their first season in the new ballpark in Southeast Washington.The Nationals are in the process of forming as many as eight Founding Partnerships for their first season in their new ballpark, with each of those owning branded real estate in Nationals Park or a featured promotion or fan activation element.”We are proud to welcome GEICO as our initial Founding Partner”, said Stan Kasten, President of the Nationals. “We have valued their strong support in the first three seasons since the Nationals came to Washington. Through their creative marketing and advertising, they have long been recognized as a leader in their field and a company willing to think outside the box in their corporate partnerships. Their connection to our Racing Presidents, our signature in-game promotion, is a great example of that.”
