USC Athletics Partners with Helium Mobile

Today we're excited to announce that Helium Mobile has been named a Proud Partner of the University of Southern California Trojans! As part of the partnership with USC Athletics, Helium Mobile will have a presence during football and basketball home games throughout the 2024-25 season with Helium Mobile stadium branding, planned activations, and giveaways for Trojans fans on-site. The partnership will launch with the USC vs. Wisconsin football game on September 28, 2024, with Helium Mobile as a game sponsor. 

“We are excited to partner with Helium Mobile, a new type of carrier that empowers people to take an active role in bringing coverage where it’s needed most. We’re looking forward to working with Helium Mobile to develop campaigns to make the Trojans fan experience even more exciting at football and basketball home games this year,” said Jay Hilbrands, USC Deputy Athletic Director, External / Chief of Staff.

As part of this collaboration, Helium Mobile will host exclusive experiences during games with student section takeovers, exciting giveaways, and special promotions for attendees. USC fans will also be able to learn more about the Helium community, phone plans, and Hotspots at home games.

“We are proud to support the USC Trojans. Sports bring people together, and we’re excited to have USC as part of the Helium Mobile family. We know how important it is for students, student-athletes, faculty, and alumni to have reliable and affordable cell phone service," said Frank Mong, COO of Helium Mobile / Nova Labs.

The Helium Network is designed for popular apps like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and gaming, offering reliable and people-powered connectivity for USC students and fans who are always on the go. Helium Mobile, backed by the Helium Network and the nation's largest 5G network, offers a $20 per month phone plan with unlimited talk, text, and data. In addition, Helium Mobile subscribers have the opportunity to earn rewards based on their work strengthening the network.

“We are proud to welcome Helium Mobile into the USC Athletics partnership program," said Andy Waters, Group Vice President of West/Intermountain at Playfly Sports Properties. “It is an exciting time to engage with the Trojan faithful as we enter the Big Ten Conference.”
