Ferndale,
MI —
(August 17, 2011) — The Uniroyal Soccer Program is 12 years strong and rolling
forward this season with more dealers participating every year. Starting September 16,
2011 families of Troy Youth Soccer League will receive certificates that can be redeemed
for a free soccer ball at RHD Inc., while supplies last. After the 30-day program period,
Troy Youth Soccer League will receive $2 for every Uniroyal® tire sold to
the general public on behalf of Uniroyal and RHD Inc.
Since
the program’s inception in 2000, the Uniroyal Soccer Program has provided nearly $14 million in funds and equipment,
including over one million soccer balls, to more than 3,000 youth soccer leagues across the United States.
“Contributing
to our local community and supporting our youth is so important to us,” said Mike Korte
of RHD Inc. “We look forward to connecting with players and families from Troy Youth Soccer League when they come in for their free soccer ball.”
“It
is an honor to provide such a distinct program for our dealers to stay involved in their communities,” said Ana Martin,
Uniroyal Communications Manager. “Soccer leagues depend on donations from partners like RHD
Inc., and we are pleased to facilitate that relationship.”
