Midland, MI — [9/4/25] — Wildfire Credit Union is proud to announce its sponsorship of home and away jerseys for The Fusion, the official travel team of the Midland Soccer Club (MSC). The jersey sponsorship initiative is the first of its kind and is part of the MSC's capital campaign to build a new indoor athletic facility in Midland. This partnership highlights both organizations’ commitment to youth development and the long-term growth of recreational and competitive athletics in Midland and the surrounding counties.

The new indoor athletic facility will provide year-round access to sports programs, training opportunities, and community engagement in a state-of-the-art environment. As part of its campaign, MSC is offering sponsorship opportunities to local businesses and organizations that are invested in the future of youth sports and healthy community lifestyles.

Through this sponsorship, Wildfire Credit Union will have its logo featured on all MSC Fusion jerseys, worn by hundreds of young athletes throughout the season. Additionally, they will provide one scholarship annually to cover the player fees for a Fusion athlete who is also a Wildfire Credit Union member.

“We are proud to partner with Wildfire Credit Union and are happy to have them as a community partner in this important youth development project for Midland and the surrounding counties,” said Marshall Gray, Executive Director of Business Operations at Midland Soccer Club. “Their support brings us one step closer to making this facility a reality for our young athletes and the broader community.”

Wildfire Credit Union's sponsorship is a testament to its ongoing dedication to the communities it serves. The collaboration with MSC not only supports the construction of a much-needed facility, but also reinforces the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and health that are central to both organizations.

“Supporting youth and investing in the future of our communities is at the heart of what we do,” said Ben Denay, President and CEO of Wildfire Credit Union. “We're honored to be part of Midland Soccer Club's vision for a facility that will impact generations of athletes and families. This partnership reflects our belief in the power of community and the importance of creating opportunities for kids to grow, compete, and thrive.”
