The National Mango Board says it will partner with the University of Mississippi athletics, sponsoring all Ole Miss football and basketball home games for the 2024-25 season.

The National Mango Board says the partnership is a major milestone for the organization as it promotes the health benefits of mango. The organization plans activities, promotions and opportunities for fans to sample the tropical fruit at select home football and basketball games, according to a news release.

Each home game will feature a unique mango-themed experience as the National Mango Board aims to increase awareness about the versatility and health benefits of mango among students, athletes and fans.

“We are looking forward to kicking off our partnership with Ole Miss Athletics, extending our support to all football and basketball home games for the 2024-2025 season,” Dan Spellman, director of marketing for the National Mango Board, said in the release. “This collaboration allows us to celebrate the joy of mango with an even larger audience. We look forward to engaging with the Ole Miss community, enhancing their game day experiences with our refreshing fruit.”
