NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Music City Bowl representatives announced today that Franklin American Mortgage Company will serve as the title sponsor of the Bowl beginning in 2010 through the 2013 event.

“At Franklin American Mortgage Company, we are excited to increase our partnership with the Music City Bowl as the title sponsor,” said Dan Crockett, President and CEO of FAMC.  “As one of the fastest growing mortgage companies in the nation, the Music City Bowl allows us to further brand ourselves to our thousands of industry partners and customers across the country.  The Bowl also has a tremendous impact in the Nashville community, and we are proud to participate in the many events which comprise the Music City Bowl.”

“Over the past several years, Franklin American Mortgage Company has been a great partner to the Bowl, and we’re excited about moving that partnership to the next level,” said Christine Karbowiak, Bowl Chair.  “FAMC’s sponsorship of our annual charity golf tournament and Coaches Luncheon has played a vital role in the success of the Bowl.  The addition of this title sponsorship rounds out our relationship with the great company and is a great fit for the Bowl.  On behalf of the Bowl, I’d like to thank Dan Crockett and Franklin American Mortgage for their continued support.”
