“We are so thrilled to forge this great partnership with Union Home Mortgage as we welcome RubberDucks fans back home to Canal Park,” said Jim Pfander, Akron RubberDucks GM. “Union Home Mortgage is a tremendous organization who truly understands what our community in Northeast Ohio is all about. We strive to make Canal Park feel like home to each and every member of our community, and we are so glad to have Union Home Mortgage on board to continue making that vision a reality.”

Since its founding in 1970, Union Home Mortgage has focused on making home ownership accessible for all. Getting their start in Strongsville, Ohio, Union Home Mortgage has continued to develop a national reach, serving customers through more than 150 branches. While gaining notoriety nationwide as a top workplace for several years, the company has maintained its commitment to Northeast Ohio by bringing its partners from all across the country to the area for its annual company-wide celebration.

“We’re big fans of the Rubber City and are excited to be part of the action down at Canal Park,” said Bill Cosgrove, President & CEO of Union Home Mortgage. “Union Home Mortgage calls its employees ‘Partners’ to signify the importance of teamwork in everything we do, and while our Partners prefer pens and PCs to baseball bats, both organizations are focused on hitting home runs and making Ravings Fans out of our customers. Let’s play ball.”
