Logistics Plus is proud to announce it will be the sponsor of the Nao Trinidad, of Spain at the Tall Ships Erie 2022 festival. On Aug. 25-28, the Tall Ships Erie 2022 festival will showcase Erie’s maritime heritage, with opportunities to sail and tour majestic tall ships from around the world and enjoy family-friendly attractions at Erie’s waterfront.
All the confirmed ships in this year’s festival are returning ships. However, the Nao Trinidad, a replica of a 15th-century square sail ship, built to celebrate the Spanish city of Huelva’s 525th anniversary, will offer a new “interpretation” to visitors. The Nao Trinidad was formerly the Nao Santa Maria and participated in the 2019 Tall Ships Erie festival. The Trinidad crew has made some physical alterations to the ship to aid in the interpretation. Visitors are encouraged to check it out, considering the ship made a trans-Atlantic voyage to get here.
The last time the Tall Ships festival was in Erie was in 2019. At that event, Logistics Plus was the proud sponsor of the Picton Castle.

The Erie Sports Center announced a new partnership with Logistics Plus today. You can read the details here:
***********************************************************************
The Erie Sports Center is pleased to announce a major partnership with Logistics Plus to support the Declan Bingham Scholarship Fund and grow our mission to allow kids to play sports regardless of their financial challenges. This partnership will now allow kids to have access to sports year round as we look to expand upon and grow our low-cost and free sports programs, that we launched this summer, into the winter months as well. Erie children will now have the opportunity to play soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball, softball, basketball, and volleyball in the winter in our world-class facilities, encompassing the brand new full-size turf field sports dome and our newly renovated indoor courts.
Erie Sports Center owner Troy Bingham said, “The culture of Logistics Plus and the Berlin Family resonates with our mission. Their “Passion for Excellence” and “Humbly Conquering the World from Erie Pa” mottos match our ambition to create a world-class facility and programs that draw people from around the region and the country. We are so excited to work with them to bring more opportunities to local kids to engage with sport and create opportunities to change their lives.”
Jim Berlin, Founder & CEO of Logistics Plus commented, “When we saw how hard the team was working at the Erie Sports Center to provide opportunities to local kids to be involved in being active in a positive environment, we wanted to be involved. What they have done up there in such a short space of time and the amount of work they have put into giving back to the community already is really motivating. Being a local business with global reach, we understand the enormity of the task and are equally committed to providing opportunities to keep people local. We believe together we can make real and significant changes in many kids’ lives going forward. We hope more businesses support the cause as together we can truly make a difference”.
The new winter programs available to kids from all over Erie will be available for registration in August.
