PHILADELPHIA (October 31, 2011) - The Philadelphia Soul add Philadelphia baseball star, Jimmy Rollins to the all-star caliber list of people involved with the "Philly Football Rocks" initiative. Rollins joins Philadelphia's hottest sports athlete, Michael Vick; Kamal Gray from Philadelphia's Grammy Award-winning band, The Roots; Philadelphia hockey star, James Van Riemsdyk; and Philadelphia football legend, Vince Papale.
The "Philly Football Rocks!" program allows non-profit and youth sports organizations to raise money while spreading goodwill and creating meaningful experiences and great exposure. The Soul have already signed up over 50 partners through this program.
"I am excited to get involved with the Soul initiative supporting Youth Baseball in the Philadelphia area," said Rollins. "It is a great cause and allows me to help raise funds for the different requirements necessary to support a baseball league."
Organizations that sign up for the program will receive: up to 55 percent of the revenue generated from ticket sales to Soul games, an autographed Fender electric guitar signed by Kamal Gray, Vince Papale, Jimmy Rollins, James Van Riemsdyk or Michael Vick (depending on the program selected); an autographed over-sized print from 1980 Super Bowl of Ron Jaworski; an autographed football and jersey signed by Jaworski and a Soul player or coach. A limited number of packages are available.
With a goal of 300 partners signed up before the start of the season and each organization expecting to raise $5,000 on average, this equates to $1.5 million in "FUN-RAISING" Revenue in total to be earned from this initiative for organizations spanning all throughout the Delaware Valley, Lehigh Valley and beyond.
The Philadelphia Soul is currently looking for more partners to join in the mission to raise $1.5 million.
