A GREAT CAUSE! FANTASTIC ADVERTISING FOR YOUR BUSINESS!

Great Cause: Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Organization’s mission is to provide immediate, as well as, long term, resources and support to individuals sustaining catastrophic spinal cord injury during a high school football related event. Statistics show that about 1 in 100,000 high school football players will suffer this type of injury each year. The financial costs associated with this injury are staggering! The insurance that the vast majority of families and schools carry falls drastically short. Add to the financial burden the magnitude of the emotional and physical trauma placed upon a young athlete and his family, and it is not hard to see the incredible need for assistance.

Fantastic Advertising: Gridiron Heroes has developed an excellent working relationship with the “football community”. Football coaches, fans, and lovers of the game understand the necessity of Gridiron Heroes’ mission. Because of their understanding, they have opened up great avenues through which we are able to raise awareness and promote our mission. These avenues of promotion and awareness have provided unprecedented opportunities for the promotion of YOU our sponsors as well. Through our relationship with the “football community” our logo and web site information could be present in some form or fashion at EVERY football event in the State of Texas by the 2005 season. Our goal is to have that same information at EVERY football event in the country by the 2009 season! Over two million people are expected to visit the Gridiron Heroes Coaches’ Challenge web site this season, and hundred’s of thousands will visit the Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Organization site during the upcoming year.
