Charlotte, N.C. (Nov. 20, 2025) – Michael & Son, a local HVAC, electrical, plumbing and restoration company that serves the Charlotte area, today announced a multiyear partnership with the Carolina Panthers. The collaboration includes surprise and delights for customers, gameday integrations online and during football games at Bank of America Stadium, and coming together to serve the community through the Carolina Cares initiative.
As a Proud Partner of the Carolina Panthers, Sir Purr and Panthers Legends are teaming up with Michael & Son technicians to surprise customers on ride-a-long appointments throughout the Greater Charlotte area, connecting customers to the team in a unique and engaging way. Additionally, Michael & Son will provide a "Cooling Zone" for Panthers fans to cool off during the beginning of the season and a "Heating Zone" with portable heaters for games later in the season as fans enter Bank of America Stadium on gameday.
"We're thrilled to welcome Michael & Son to the Carolina Panthers partnership family," said David King, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Tepper Sports & Entertainment. "Their deep commitment to serving customers and communities across the Carolinas reflects the same pride and passion we bring to events at Bank of America Stadium. Together, we'll make a meaningful impact across the region while enhancing our gameday experience for fans."
Together with Michael & Son, the Panthers will gift one deserving fan with the opportunity to receive a new HVAC system, courtesy of Michael & Son through their Carolina Cares program. Panthers fans can nominate a family member or friend in need of a free HVAC unit on the team's website.
"Since 2010, the Michael & Son CARES Project has donated over $500,000 in complimentary home repairs to families facing critical challenges, bringing comfort and relief right where it's needed most," said Lou Rizkallah, Executive Vice President of Michael & Son, Carolinas.
