Season-long partnership begins in College Station with Visit to the Brazos County Firefighters Association to Support Emergency Response Efforts
SAN JOSE, Calif., September 11, 2026 – Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) will join ESPN College Football Campus Tour for a season-long tour bringing the conversation about the future of power into college communities across the country. At stops across the country, Bloom will combine the excitement of college football with local community engagement and support of emergency response efforts.
The tour begins on September 12 in College Station, Texas, as Arizona State takes on Texas A&M. Bloom Energy will then travel to Louisville, State College, Gainesville, Austin, Oxford, Baton Rouge and Lincoln during the 2026 college football season.
Ahead of each week’s game, Bloom Energy will recognize and support the local firefighters who protect their communities every day. At the first stop, Bloom donated to emergency response efforts at the Brazos County Firefighters Association, the regional nonprofit that brings together city and county fire departments across Brazos County. Strong emergency response is essential to a community’s resilience, and this donation will support the people and resources behind that work.
“College football brings people together, and we want to use that moment to recognize some of the people who serve these communities every day,” said Natalie Sunderland, Chief Marketing Officer at Bloom Energy. “From firefighters and first responders to the power systems that keep businesses, schools and hospitals running, much of that work happens behind the scenes. We’re excited to bring that conversation directly to communities across the country this season.”
“This contribution will make a meaningful difference for our department, effectively tripling the resources we have available for training and development for our team,” said David Cooper, Fire Chief, South Brazos County Fire Department. “We’re grateful to Bloom Energy for supporting the firefighters who work every day to keep our community safe and prepared.”
AI, advanced manufacturing and economic growth are driving a sharp increase in electricity demand across the United States. The infrastructure needed to meet that demand will be built in communities across the country, making conversations about power more important than ever. Bloom Energy’s fuel cells generate clean, reliable electricity on-site, use minimal water, operate quietly, and can be deployed directly where power is needed.
