Partnerships Worth Cheering About
At Pacific Premier, we proudly partner with teams in the NFL, NHL, and NCAA.

We have worked together as teammates to launch and support numerous community events.

Military Appreciation
For many years, Pacific Premier Bank has partnered with the Anaheim Ducks to salute military personnel in a Salute to Those Who Serve presentation at every Ducks home game. We also teamed up as the presenting sponsor of the Ducks Military Appreciation Night to help honor our military. It was our privilege to continue this tradition in 2021. Thank you to everyone who has served our country.
