Leonia AYSO benefits from ETD Discount Tire Centers
and Uniroyal®
Tire’s commitment to youth soccer
Englewood, N.J. — (Nov. 5, 2009) — Leonia AYSO
has received more than $1150 in both funds and
equipment from ETD Discount Tire Centers and
Uniroyal® Tire as part of an ongoing commitment. The program is
currently in its tenth year of supporting youth soccer across the nation
through the Uniroyal Soccer Program.
Since its founding in 2000, the Uniroyal
Soccer Program has touched countless players and teams. This year the
program is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, with nearly $12 million in
funds and equipment, including nearly one million soccer balls, given to youth
soccer organizations across the country. And after 10 years of dedication, the
program continues to grow, supporting more communities each year.
“This program is about making lasting
relationships in the community and supporting our local youth,” said Joel Sparling
from ETD Discount Tire Centers. “Contributing to the
Leonia AYSO through a larger youth
movement gives us a great sense of accomplishment. The program is an
opportunity to connect with the community, and we are delighted to see the
players’ smiling faces when they receive their soccer ball.”
“This grassroots initiative started
originally with 200 dealers and has become a huge success,” said Jill Weninger
Goulette, Uniroyal Tire marketing communications manager. “With 10 years of
commitment and hard work, the program has grown to include over 1,000
passionate dealers like ETD Discount Tire
Centers throughout
To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of
the program, Uniroyal is also giving away a soccer ball every day in 2009. Each
