Dunkin’ Donuts is expanding its sports sponsorship programs, teaming up with the Panthers to give away a road trip for four fans on the team’s plane.

The contest starts Saturday – and will be announced during that night’s game against the Washington Capitals at BankAtlantic Center -- and runs through Dec. 20. Fans who are at least 21 can pick up a contest code with purchase or by request at participating Dunkin’ Donuts locations in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. They then register online at www.floridapanthers.com with the code for a chance to win the trip to the Jan. 9 game against the Thrashers in Atlanta. Contest entrants must be 21 or older, but accompanying fans can be as young as 18.

The sponsorship with the team includes in-arena signage and Dunkin’ gift card, mug and coffee in the team’s “Holiday Pack” mini-season ticket package.

The Marlins forged a partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts last season, in which fans could cash in their ticket stubs for a medium iced tea and two donuts when the team scored at least six runs at home. And Dunkin’ launched the “Magic Wins, You Win” promotion earlier this month in which anyone, even without a ticket stub, can receive a free donut at Orlando Dunkin’ stores the day after the Magic wins.
