Ameriquest Mortgage Company today announced the addition of Amy Cobb, community relations specialist, to its government/public affairs and community relations team. Amy will support Ameriquest's community initiatives throughout Texas, including affordable housing and youth programs. Previously, Amy spent 4 years with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, supporting the team's community relations outreach efforts.
"Texas is an important market for Ameriquest, and Cobb's experience with the Mavericks' youth programs makes her an ideal fit and a perfect addition to our organization," said James Anderson, Ameriquest vice president of government and community affairs. "Her background makes her uniquely suited to support our community initiatives that underscore two important American fixtures - baseball and home ownership."
Based out of Ameriquest Field in Arlington, Texas, Cobb will support the "Ameriquest Spotlight on Youth Baseball" program, and act as the Ameriquest liaison supporting the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. She will also support the company's ticket donation program, which annually donates 10,000 Rangers tickets to disadvantaged youngsters. As the official mortgage company of Major League Baseball, Ameriquest has made it part of its corporate mission to help bring kids to ball games who might not otherwise have the chance to experience the thrill of seeing a Major League Baseball game. Over the years, Ameriquest has donated thousands of tickets to organizations including religious groups, children's hospitals, scouting organizations and youth baseball leagues.
In addition, Cobb will play an instrumental role in Ameriquest's affordable housing programs. Each year, Ameriquest and the Rangers help the Habitat for Humanity Council of North Central Texas build homes for qualified families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And in partnership with the Texas State Affordable Housing Corp., Ameriquest has committed up to $100 million to help low-to-moderate-income Texans realize their dream of home ownership. The program provides borrowers with an affordable mortgage, along with down payment assistance.
Ameriquest has been serving the financial needs of Texas homeowners since 1997. The company has helped tens of thousands of families across the state benefit from the rewards of home ownership.
