5 Years Strong: Gold Athletics and NEFJ Celebrate a Game-Changing Partnership Renewal

In the ever-changing youth sports world where visibility, community pride, and authentic support matter most, Gold Athletics and the New England Football Journal (NEFJ) have built something rare: a true partnership rooted in shared values. This fall, we are proud to announce the renewal of our premier sponsorship with NEFJ, marking five years of standing side by side in support of high school football and the communities that love it.

Origins of Our NEFJ Partnership

Since 2021, our sponsorship has gone beyond logos and mentions. Through NEFJ’s unmatched coverage of high school football, we’ve been honored to support:

• The Weekly High School Preview Show

• The Game of the Week Show

• Game of the Week publications

• Player of the Game features

These features don’t just tell scores and stats—they spotlight the determination of student-athletes, capture the energy of hometown rivalries, and bring entire communities together under Friday night lights.

"Nobody covers New England high school football like they do—their reach and presence on the field is unmatched,” said Matt Ross, Gold Athletics CEO. “It’s an honor to support the work they’re doing for athletes, coaches, and programs across the region.”

Shared Values, Shared Impact

At Gold Athletics, our mission has always been about equipping the next generation—not only with resources, but with recognition and support. The NEFJ embodies that same mission through their dedicated reporting.

Their coverage shines a light on teams and stories that might otherwise go unseen, giving players and coaches the recognition they deserve. We believe in that work. We believe in the impact it has on youth sports. And that’s why we’re proud to support it.

“As the top fundraising company in the region, aligning with a brand so invested in football is a natural fit,” added Ross.

This partnership thrives because of our aligned values: building up youth football, celebrating hard work, and strengthening communities.
