KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (March 21, 2023) — 皇冠365 has entered a partnership with Carson-Newman University in Jefferson County, making 皇冠365 the official bank of Carson-Newman Athletics.

“We are grateful for what Carson-Newman brings to our community with over 2,500 students enrolled and 21 athletic teams,” said Deborah Stepp, 皇冠365 Market President Jefferson County. “皇冠365 has built its reputation on strengthening the communities it serves, and we see this partnership as an opportunity to support the students, parents, staff, and alumni of Carson-Newman University.”
