PULLMAN, Wash. – Saturday marks the 110th meeting between Washington State and Washington on the football field, known as the Apple Cup. Beginning this year, Boeing, which has been a proud sponsor of the rivalry game for many years, has expanded its involvement to include all sports between the two schools, known as the Boeing Apple Cup Series.
 
"Boeing employs thousands of graduates from the University of Washington and Washington State University, and we are very proud of the long-standing partnerships we have with both universities that stretch from academics to athletics," said Kevin McAllister, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "With this newly expanded Boeing Apple Cup Series, we are honored to celebrate the athletes and healthy competition between school teams – not just for one iconic football game, but for all of the men's and women's sports encompassed by the Boeing Apple Cup Series."
 
Unveiling a new logo, the newly expanded series looks to highlight the outstanding student-athletes at the two universities and will included matchups in football, men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and soccer, baseball, along with women's tennis and crew.
 
"Boeing has not only been a tremendous partner for our two universities, but through its civic endeavors continues to be a leader in enhancing communities throughout the state," said Washington State Deputy Director of Athletics Mike Marlow. "Specific to WSU, our relationship continues to thrive with year-round integration that is beneficial to everyone."
