Qwest Communications says it has renewed its sponsorship agreement with the Colorado Rockies and has signed on all-star left fielder Matt Holliday to promote the Denver telco’s communications and community services.

Financial terms of the agreements weren’t disclosed.

“Qwest is a great supporter of the Rockies and the Colorado community, and I’m looking forward to being a part of the Qwest team,” Holliday said in a statement.

Beginning Friday, Qwest will donate $100 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado for each run batted in by Holliday during the regular season, up to $10,000. Holliday also will appear in Qwest advertising.

In-game promotions and a fan sweepstakes in May and June will be conducted as part of a three-year sponsorship agreement between Qwest and the Rockies.
