Bright House Named Title Sponsor For Clearwater Super Boat National Championship Festival

Continuing with the tradition of the private sector strengthening the community during a tough time for tourism, Bright House Networks has signed on as the title sponsor for the Bright House 2010 Clearwater Super Boat National Championship Festival.

Bright House Networks has recently signed on as the title sponsor of the Bright House 2010 Clearwater Super Boat National Championship Festival. Bright House Networks is giving back to the community by donating to a creative endeavor which will strengthen the area’s number-one industry. The Bright House 2010 Clearwater Super Boat National Championship Festival will be held in Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach October 1st - 3rd.  

"Bright House Networks is proud to be the title sponsor of the Super Boat National Championship Festival, which was a great success last year,” says Joe Durkin, the Senior Director of Corporate Communications at Bright House Networks. “With crowds estimated to surpass the 60,000-plus visitors from last year, it will have a tremendous economic impact on the local economy during a traditionally-slow tourist month."

Tourism on the Gulf Coast of Florida has been harmed by the misconception that Florida is covered in oil. This could mean potential disaster for those who stake their livelihoods on a constant influx of visitors.

This type of sporting event, which is the longest running offshore power boat racing in the United States, again hopes to bring in tourists and pump up the local economy during a crucial time for the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Last year, Super Boat brought an estimated 60,000-plus people to Clearwater, and made an estimated impact of $5-6 million on the local economy, without spending a penny of taxpayer’s money.
