help kick start soccer season for the Genesee Amateur Soccer Association

 

Batavia, N.Y. – (July 23, 2009) For the 10th year in a row, the Uniroyal® Soccer Program is supporting soccer communities across the country. Dan’s Tire & Auto Service Center will donate funds and equipment to the Genesee Amateur Soccer Association. Beginning August 1, players will receive a certificate that can be redeemed for a free soccer ball at Dan’s Tire & Auto Service Center while supplies last. Uniroyal Tire and Dan’s Tire & Auto Service Center will also donate $2 for every Uniroyal tire sold during the 30-day program.

 

Founded in 2000, the Uniroyal Soccer Program has provided almost $12 million in funds and equipment, including nearly one million soccer balls, to more than 3,000 youth soccer programs in America and Canada. In celebration of the program’s 10th anniversary, Uniroyal Tire is giving away a soccer ball every day in 2009 via their website, www.UniroyalTires.com/sweeps. The daily winners will be eligible for the grand prize drawing at the end of the year which includes the top 10 items a family needs for the 2010 soccer season: a $500 gas card, a set of Uniroyal tires, a camera/video recorder, car service for the season, a GPS system, car detailing, a cooler/chair package, a $250 parents' night out gift card, a $250 snack/food gift card, and a $500 sporting goods gift card.

 

“We are proud to support the Genesee Amateur Soccer Association, which gives local youth the experience of being a part of a team and helps them learn valuable skills they can use on and off the field,” said Dan DiLaura of Dan’s Tire & Auto Service Center. “I can’t wait to see the happy faces when the children get their free soccer balls.”

 

“The 10th anniversary of the soccer program is quite a milestone,” said Kaz Holley, Uniroyal Tire brand director. “Our unique program has grown rapidly and we continue to partner with exceptional dealers like Dan’s Tire & Auto Service Center to reach additional soccer leagues each year. Bringing communities together has always been an important component of the soccer program, and we look forward to being involved in youth soccer for years to come.”

7/1 - Message from Ricky Palermo

Parents,

    You might not know about this great, one day clinic which we conduct once a year, for both soccer and basketball.  If you know of any kids interested please pass the word.  For 12 years now my family, good friends and I have organized a golf tournament to help raise money for spinal cord injury research.  Plus, raise much-needed awareness for those who are most likely at risk (young people).  So far we have raised and donated $500,000, mainly to the Miami project (the leader in research), the other three places we send our money is, UMMC (hospital in Batavia), the spinal unit at Strong Memorial hospital (they took care of me when I was injured in 1981) and a functional electrical stimulation bike program (at the Batavia YMCA) so people with a spinal cord injury can exercise.

    Last year, between the soccer and the basketball clinic's we had approximately 90 kids show up for a great morning of skills.  In the past many local coaches have pitched in to help organize all the drills.  On Friday morning July 31st (one day before my golf tournament) we have both clinics going on at the same time (basketball indoors and soccer outdoors).  Both clinics start at approximately 9:30 AM and last till 12:30.  All the kids who participate will receive either a soccer ball or a basketball and a T-shirt, plus other donated items.  The soccer clinic will be instructed by area high school coaches.  The basketball clinic will also be instructed by area high school coaches and Pete Herrmann.  Pete is a local guy who has been coaching basketball for almost 40 years.  From J. V. basketball, all the way to Division I, he even coached David Robinson (at Navy), rated as one of the top 50 best NBA players to ever play the game.  I have attached flyers for both Soccer and Basketball.  If you have any questions please call me at (585) 343-0750.

I appreciate your help,
Ricky Palermo
