Entertainment Publications Kicks Off Football Fundraising Program Through
Exclusive Partnership with Glazier Clinic(TM)
Entertainment's Extreme Fundraising team to train football coaches with quick,
turnkey fundraising strategies and solutions
DETROIT, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Entertainment Publications LLC,
http://www.entertainment.com, the leading provider of discount offers, coupons
and promotions, today announces it will be the exclusive fundraising partner
of Glazier Clinics(TM), http://www.glazierclinics.com, a nationally renowned
source of elite high school football coaching clinics.
With more than 35 clinics and a network of 30,000 high school football coaches
nationally, Glazier Clinics offer football coaches a three-day training course
packed with expert-led sessions on a wide range of topics from zone pressure
schemes to team mentality and character building. The clinics showcase some
of the nation's greatest football minds from the NFL, college and high school
championship ranks. On average, Glazier Clinics presents 100 different
sessions for football coaches to choose from during the three-day clinics.
High school football games attract millions of fans, bringing communities
across America together. Whether people have children or not, high school
football games are a weekly tradition - a gathering place to socialize and
root for their home team. Local business and community leaders wear school
colors and hang signs urging the home team to victory. And, on Monday morning,
the main topic of conversation and common thread that brings the community
together is Friday night's game.
Glazier's football know-how, coupled with Entertainment's fundraising prowess,
makes Friday nights possible for millions of Americans. Glazier and
Entertainment are both experts in their respective fields. With more than 30
years of experience, Glazier is the go-to expert in providing high school
football coaches with comprehensive training in football techniques and
program building. Entertainment's proven record of nearly 50 years of success
in the school fundraising industry makes it an ideal fundraising partner to
support Glazier football coaches.
Entertainment Extreme Fundraising, a division of Entertainment, is a team of
fundraising experts focused on providing solutions and structured strategies
specific to high school student groups, clubs and athletic programs. This
program will provide Glazier Clinic attendees valuable insights and tools to
maximize their ability to raise money for their football programs.
The Entertainment's fundraising products offer great value at fair price,
saving students and families money while raising funds for football teams.
With these funds, coaches are able to build successful programs. In the
spirit of bringing together schools and businesses, Entertainment helped
Olympia (Washington) Capital's football team raise funds for weight room
equipment and bus transportation. The team sold the Entertainment Savings
Spree product with valuable discounts from businesses near their school,
personalized with their school colors, logo and schedule.
Through this partnership, Glazier Clinics and Entertainment Publications are
offering coaches a 50 percent discount on a 2010 Season Pass priced at $299
for staff and $99 for individuals. This offer includes access to all 35
Glazier Clinics throughout the season, 24/7 access to Glazier Clinic Online
and deeper discounts from dozens of football vendors at the events.
"We are honored to partner with Entertainment as a trusted fundraising
resource for our coaches and our exclusive fundraising partner for the
clinics," said Glazier Clinics President Chris Coughlin. "As sports programs
budgets are scaled back on a daily basis, we're confident in recommending
Entertainment Extreme Fundraising to successfully raise much-needed funds as
Glazier prepares coaches to raise trophies at the end of a successful season."
"In today's environment, high school football programs need funds more now
than ever to keep their programs and passion for the sport alive," said
Entertainment CEO MaryAnn Rivers. "Glazier Clinics is the premier training
ground for the nation's top football coaches and Entertainment looks to
provide them with the most effective and low-risk fundraising opportunities
available."
The clinics run January through early April 2010 and consist of sessions in
drills and fundamentals for every position, as well as up to 80 hours of
cutting edge scheme topics.
