Fort Myers Mighty Mussels News Release


Florham Park, NJ (July 17, 2006) - The Goldklang Group, a sports marketing and consulting firm that owns and operates several minor league and independent baseball clubs, today announced that NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams will profile the Group in their "Making a Difference" segment on July 21.

The Goldklang Group has long held the belief that giving back to the communities they work and live in should be one of the primary focuses of the clubs. NBC decided to profile the Goldklang Group after learning of the Group's policy under which each full time employee is expected to dedicate a minimum of 25 hours of service per year, with pay, to one or more worthy causes in his or her community. The choice is made by the individual, with guidance from management, and carried out at the discretion of the charitable organization or community group. The policy extends all the way down to the initial hiring process, when potential employees are educated on the importance of establishing and building the relationships the club has with local causes.

"Our organizations value the importance of giving back to our ballclubs' communities," said Marv Goldklang, chairman of the Goldklang Group. "Our teams exist and thrive solely on the support of our local regions. As such, we believe it is not only a responsibility, but a privilege, to contribute as best we can to the development of community services and resources available in our markets."

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, provides reports and analysis of the day's most newsworthy national and international events. Each evening viewers are also offered an in-depth piece examining the top news story of the day, and the Friday broadcast offers a profile of individuals who have achieved their goals and are living their version of the American dream.

"Southwest Florida is one of the fastest growing areas in the country," said Miracle GM Steve Gliner. "There are so many worthy causes to choose from in our region. We feel that it's important for each member of our staff to choose to help an organization that is important to them. This allows them to work for a cause they believe in and in turn allows many of these great organizations to get the help they deserve."
