The Colville Tribal Federal Corporation and 12 Tribes Colville Casinos announced a new sponsorship with Gonzaga University athletics on Tuesday.

This sponsorship goes into effect immediately. It will add 12 Tribes Colville Casinos branding courtside for the Gonzaga men’s basketball team’s 2026/27 season.

12 Tribes Colville Casino says this sponsorship also includes on-Reservation basketball clinics for Tribal youth on the Colville Reservation and an annual scholarship for children in the area to attend sports camps at Gonzaga’s campus.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for our youth to experience world-class athletics while we bring awareness of the Colville brands nationwide,” said Zachary Dalton, CEO of the Colville Tribal Federal Corporation.
