West Chester United Soccer Club SCORES WITH DONATION

FROM UNIROYAL TIRE AND Valley Forge Tire and Auto Centers

 

December 1, 2004

West Chester, PA

 

Valley Forge Tire and Auto Centers and Uniroyal^® Tire have donated funds and equipment valued at more than $1,150.00 to the West Chester United Soccer Club as part of a nationwide youth soccer program. 

 

“This is such a great program because everyone benefits. The kids get free soccer balls, the league receives funds, and we have the opportunity to meet new families,” said Mike Jeffers of Valley Forge Tire and Auto Centers.  “This community has really been good to us, so we’re thrilled to be working with the West Chester United Soccer Club to give something back.”

 

Uniroyal Tire has completed its fourth year as a major sponsor of youth soccer, and the impact of its support keeps growing – with 350,000 free soccer balls given to families and a total donation of $5 million in funds and equipment. The tire company has enlisted the support of U.S. national team star Julie Foudy to assist in the development and promotion of its youth soccer initiatives.

 

“We’re excited to be working with our dealers such as Valley Forge Tire and Auto Centers to help foster the growth of youth soccer in communities across America,” said Uniroyal Tire Brand Director Tim Jamison. “It’s a great sport for kids of all ages and abilities and is a wonderful activity for the entire family.”
