“We are beyond proud to be named the official snack sponsors for D.C. United,” said Scott Albertson, President of The Fruitist. “For too long, soccer fans of all ages have craved a better-for-you choice at the stadium. We are excited to introduce a deliciously good-for-you premium snack that appeals to the whole family and delivers on taste, aroma, and crunch—truly a better berry. Kids love that The Fruitist berries taste great and have a snappy pop, while parents love our berries’ consistency, convenience, and nutritious benefits. We look forward to delivering on this health and flavor promise to the fans at Audi Field, the D.C. United community, and to retailers nationwide.”

Through the partnership, the Fruitist will also receive prominent branding throughout Audi Field, the club’s downtown Washington, D.C. stadium; premium client appreciation benefits at D.C. United home matches, and exposure across the club’s social and digital media channels, a release explained.

The Fruitist berries are hand-selected, premium fruits grown and harvested at peak ripeness and flavor from the supplier’s own farms.
