December 2006
NTB - National Tire & Battery and Uniroyal Tire donated funds and equipment valued at more than $1,150 to the Bellaire Soccer Club as part of a longtime program by Uniroyal to support the nation’s top youth soccer associations and leagues.
“The Uniroyal Soccer Program is great because it helps us give back to the community which has been so supportive of us,” said Abel Rodriguez of NTB - National Tire & Battery. “We have really enjoyed meeting the families with the Bellaire Soccer Club, and we get a real kick out of giving away the free soccer balls to the kids.”
Uniroyal Tire is now in its seventh year as a major sponsor of youth soccer. In total, Uniroyal and its dealers have provided 655,000 free soccer balls to soccer families across America and have donated a total of $9 million in funds and equipment.
“One of the best aspects of our soccer program is linking dealers such as NTB - National Tire & Battery who are tremendous community supporters with outstanding organizations like the Bellaire Soccer Club who conduct such rewarding programs for local children,” said Uniroyal Tire Brand Marketing Director Kaz Holley.
