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 ball clubs' 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.

The organizational blueprint Mike Veeck and Marv Goldklang have created has us focused on becoming better community partners in our Charleston community, not simply focusing on revenues, expenses and sales goals," said Dave Echols, general manager of the Charleston RiverDogs. "Mike and Marv believe that our employees' experiences within the community will help them become better human beings and in turn we will be a stronger organization."
