Tampa Bay LV Social QB Program
Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV Host Committee Launches the #TampaBayLV Social Quarterbacks Program
The Tampa Bay LV Social QB program is a community social media initiative aimed at highlighting our region’s journey and hosting effort leading up to Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021. We will rely on the power of the collective to help promote and amplify all of the free ancillary events and social impact initiatives via the social platforms of our incredible #TeamTampaBay franchises, partners, and personalities.
The Social QB program is centered around the Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV Host Committee’s three-pillared tagline; Forward. Forever. Together. Our hope is that Team Forward, Team Forever, and Team Together will unite our hometown like never before by helping us share unique content over the next 10 months. We’re excited to have you join our team and share in the spirit of Tampa Bay as we prepare to host the most important and impactful Super Bowl of our lifetime, propelling us “Forward. Forever. Together.”
TEAM FORWARD (CAPTAIN: WILL WEATHERFORD, CO-CHAIRMAN)
Team Forward will focus on how far our community has come since our last Super Bowl in 2009. Many of these changes are reflected in the growth and expansion of our downtown campus, an extension of the Tampa Riverwalk, enhanced hotel inventory, the addition of mixed purposed and residential towers as well as renovations and upgrades to public parks, bars, restaurants and event venues. You will hear us say “pardon our progress” versus “pardon our dust”… hard hat areas are a positive reminder that our city is invested and committed to progressing forward and creating a dynamic living, working and playing environment for locals and visitors alike.
TEAM FOREVER (CAPTAIN: DERRICK BROOKS, CO-CHAIRMAN)
Team Forever will focus on the lasting impact that Super Bowl LV will have on our community. Forever 55, the Tampa Bay Super Bowl LV Host Committee’s and NFL’s $2 million social legacy initiative will focus on five key pillars; early childhood education, food insecurity, families, health and wellness, and sustainability. Long after the confetti clears, the legacy and transformative change from Super Bowl LV will be remembered and celebrated forever.
TEAM TOGETHER (CAPTAIN: ROB HIGGINS, PRESIDENT/CEO
Team Together will focus on the collaborative chemistry that defines our community as we rally in support of each other. When we open back up for business, Team Tampa Bay will be ready to embrace and ignite our community’s passion for and love of sports. Hosting Super Bowl LV provides us with a tremendous opportunity to leverage a global platform and showcase our hometown on the grandest of stages, together we will ensure our community shines like never before.
