SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Marini SkinSolutions and Notre Dame Global Partnerships announced a multi-year partnership agreement designating Marini SkinSolutions' sunscreen as the Proud Sunscreen Partner of Notre Dame Athletics.

Marini SkinSolutions' integration into Notre Dame Athletics is a powerful alignment of performance, wellness, and innovation. As part of the partnership, Marini will provide its skincare products for use at training tables and throughout the athletic department—supporting student-athletes with daily solutions for skin recovery, irritation, sun protection, and overall skin health. These clinically backed products will be used by athletic trainers and medical staff across multiple sports as part of a holistic approach to athlete care.

The partnership also brings Marini directly into the heart of the Notre Dame fan experience. Through on-site activations at home football games, the brand will have a physical presence within Notre Dame Stadium, introducing fans to advanced skincare and sunscreen solutions. Fans will have the opportunity to interact with the Marini brand firsthand and receive samples of sun protection products. Beyond football, the partnership extends across the athletics calendar, with sponsorship visibility at marquee events including basketball, lacrosse, soccer, and more—building year-round engagement with students, alumni, families, and fans. It's a collaboration rooted in shared values of excellence, care, and performance—on the field and beyond.

This partnership reinforces Notre Dame's commitment to holistic student-athlete care—extending beyond performance and nutrition to include skin health as an essential component of overall well-being.

"We couldn't be more delighted to officially announce this partnership with Notre Dame Athletics. We admire the unrivaled tradition and the standard of excellence, both on the field and in the classroom, that is synonymous with Notre Dame. We feel confident this partnership will introduce our brand to millions of fans and admirers of Notre Dame in what is the most critical element of skin health, protection from the sun rays," commented John Connors, CEO & President of Marini SkinSolutions.

Jim Fraleigh, Deputy Athletics Director, remarked on the newly established partnership, "We are honored to partner with Marini SkinSolutions as our Official Sunscreen provider for Notre Dame Athletics. Skin cancer is an ever-prevalent issue, and by having a sunscreen partner, we fill an important need of our Notre Dame community in addressing those risk factors. Notre Dame Global Partnerships, a joint venture between Legends and JMI Sports, facilitated the partnership.
