RENO, Nev. - Nevada Athletics announces a new multi-year agreement with Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) as its newest official "Go Green" partner for Nevada men's football, and men's and women's basketball starting with the 2023-24 season. Dragonfly Energy, the maker of Battle Born Batteries and an industry leader in energy storage headquartered in Reno, Nevada, is also exploring additional sustainability initiatives with the university.
Dragonfly Energy, founded in 2012 by Nevada MBA graduate, Dr. Denis Phares, will work with the University to help the athletics facilities identify opportunities to integrate eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives through use of Dragonfly's innovative Lithium-ion battery technology.
"The University of Nevada, Reno, is a staple of the northern Nevada community; and the Nevada Wolf Pack athletic teams symbolize the passion and the exceptionalism of our region," Tyler Bourns, Dragonfly Energy's Chief Marketing Officer, said. "As a company, we're proud to call Nevada our home and of the success the University of Nevada Athletics teams have achieved over the last several years. Dragonfly is honored to be partnering the University's athletics teams and look forward to future green initiatives and sustainability efforts."
During the 2022-23 season, the Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball team was selected for the First Four as part of the NCAA's March Madness tournament, while Nevada women's golf's Victoria Gailey qualified for her third-straight NCAA Regional. The success of these programs and student-athletes is supported by local companies and businesses that contribute annually to the department.
"We are excited to welcome Dragonfly Energy as an official partner of Nevada Athletics," said Nevada Athletics Director Stephanie Rempe. "We look forward to working with Dragonfly as part of our continuing commitment to our local business partners in the community."
Nevada fans will see a Dragonfly Energy presence starting in fall 2023 during Nevada Football games.
