Talk'n'Save suits up as AFI league sponsor
Talk'n'Save, a longtime supporter of American Football in Israel, is now the sponsor for all AFI league activities.
"Talk'n'Save has been involved with the AFI leagues for years, and we're really excited to be able to sponsor them now," said Yonah Berzon, CEO of Talk 'n' Save, the leader in cell phone service and rentals for students in Israel since 1999. "We care about the students' entire Israel experience, not just their cell phones, and we know hundreds of our customers are going to be out there playing ball with AFI. So it's really a personal initiative for us to be supporting 'our boys.' And this way," he added with a grin, "we don't have to pick favorites by just sponsoring one team."
"This is a great development for AFI," said Talk'n'Save AFI President Steve Leibowitz. "We have forged an alliance with a great company that recognizes the central role football and Kraft Family Stadium occupies in the Anglo sports scene in Jerusalem and in Israel."
