"A company with roots in my hometown of Hillsboro, DaBella is uniquely positioned to use their resources to partner with us to make a positive impact in our community."

DaBella was founded in Portland in 2011 and has since grown to 46 locations in 17 states providing roofing, window, siding, and bath replacement services. As part of this partnership. DaBella will provide home improvement services to the community, including a program where DaBella will build new roofs for fan-nominated families in need. DaBella and the Timbers will also work together on various other community initiatives through Stand Together Week and the Portland Timbers Community Fund.

"It is a dream come true to partner with the Portland Timbers and give back to the community that helped us start this journey," said DaBella CEO, Donnie McMillan, Jr. "Portland is our home. Our alignment with the Timbers, an organization that shares our core values, will allow us to cultivate a positive impact to the local communities in which we serve."

Additionally, DaBella and the Timbers will introduce the "DaBella House," a semi-permanent in-stadium structure, adding to the fan experience at Providence Park. Up to four fans at every home match will receive complimentary seat upgrades to the DaBella "Best Seat in the House" section. Added value opportunities for Providence Park attendees and Timbers fans throughout the country will be announced in the future including promotions, giveaways, and more.

"In addition to reaching the Portland community and Timbers fans, this is a tremendous platform to grow our national footprint through the power of the MLS, its media partnership with Apple TV and the upcoming 2026 World Cup," said Bastian Cowsert, Chief Marketing Officer. "Sports brings people together. Whether you're playing or watching, athletics creates community. Connecting with an organization that focuses so much on community was a key factor in embarking on this partnership."
