MACON, Ga. — (September 28, 2010) — With the 10th anniversary under its belt, the Uniroyal® Soccer Program is continuing to support local soccer across the nation. Starting October 30th, players of the Tattnall Elementary Soccer World Cup will receive certificates that can be redeemed for a free soccer ball at Northside Tire, while supplies last. After the 30-day program period, the Tattnall Elementary Soccer World Cup will receive $2 for every Uniroyal® tire sold to the general public on behalf of Uniroyal® Tire and Northside Tire.
Since the program’s inception in 2000, the Uniroyal Soccer Program has provided nearly $13 million in funds and equipment in excess of one million soccer balls, to more than 3,000 youth soccer programs across the U.S. and Canada. As a continuation of the 10th anniversary, Uniroyal® Tire will be giving away a soccer ball every day in 2010. For more information, please visit the website at www.UniroyalTires.com.
“Giving back to our local community in such a unique way is phenomenal,” said Chris Forehand of Northside Tire. “We look forward to connecting with players and parents from the Tattnall Elementary Soccer World Cup when they come in for their free soccer ball.”
“We are thankful we can provide such a distinct program for our dealers to be able to get involved in their communities,” said Ashley Ramos, Uniroyal® Tire communications manager. “Soccer leagues depend on donations from partners like Northside Tire and we are proud to facilitate that partnership.”
To continue Uniroyal’s involvement in the soccer community, soccer fans will have the opportunity to become the official designer of the 2011 soccer ball in the Uniroyal Soccer Ball Design Challenge. The grand prize includes a $1,000 check, a set of Uniroyal® tires, a $500 car service gift certificate, 50 soccer balls featuring the winner’s design, an Apple® iPadTM and more.
