Winning our way


Because while a season is short, fierce is forever.

Sport builds us up. It strengthens our bodies and our resolve. Sport teaches us lessons: of grace, humility and the power of team. Winning the hour, the year or even our lives - we're winning our way.

Simmons Bank is proud to support the lasting power of women in sports through a multi-year presenting sponsorship agreement with the women's athletic teams at ten universities in the communities we serve.

Sports teach tangible skills like leadership, teamwork and determination - skills that readily translate from the sports world to the corporate world where we all play from the same tees,"
- George A. Makris, Jr., chairman and CEO of Simmons Bank.

Mr. Makris went on to say “The opportunity to partner with leading universities across our footprint to provide financial support while also developing programs to further enhance the qualities female athletes gain through competition is an incredible honor for our organization. We applaud the talent and sportsmanship of these young women and believe our partnership with their universities will position them for even greater success in the future."

We are winning our way.
