March 2007 is the Annual Brain Injury Awareness Month across the USA.
January 7, 2007, Alpharetta, GA --- "Phone rings. It's from the
hospital. The voice tells me that my child suffered TBI, Traumatic
Brain Injury during her soccer practice. 'Can I talk to her, please?'
The voice says ' I am very sorry, but she is in coma. Please come to
the emergency room as soon as possible'. I am frightened. I can barely
breathe. I arrive at the emergency room. Most questions I have go
unanswered. I am told just 'wait and see'. I spent 6 days next to her
hospital bed in the intensive care unit. My story has a happy ending.
My daughter is a survivor. It is a miracle!
In less than a year from the accident, she is playing soccer again.
Even though our case ends happily, many other cases do not. Head injury
daunts the sports community. Awareness mean less tragedy. The best 'cure' is prevention.

New in 2007 - SportSOS Marketplace.
October 10, 2006 - Atlanta, GA ---- The SportSOS marketplace is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the vast but tightly targeted youth market segment in North America and abroad. Now even small business owners can join SportSOS partner programs, meet their marketing needs quickly, easily and effectively. The financial advantages are numerous and partners can reach unique consumers with a reasonable ROI.
Today, sports is recognized as one of the fastest growing youth markets. The number of youth athletes is expected to increase sharply during the next years. Therefore demand for products and services will increase. In the United States alone, Sport-SOS sponsored awareness campaigns target over 40 million youth athletes involved in community sports programs and six million in high school sports - over 125 million people including parents and professionals. They represent 45% of the US population. Youth sports, is a vast global, diverse ethnic, gen X, gen Y, babyboomer, wealthy individual and family market. It is an affinity market segment, that almost no industry can afford no longer ignore.
More youth consumers are using the Internet to make their purchase decisions. Internet and the mass media is a one-way "selling-medium", a downward marketing spiral when targeting youth sports markets. Therefore, the "loudest voice" gets less and less affinity consumer’s recognition.
Youth sports market behave in different ways, but they have the same interest. They are committed to increase awareness and help raise funds for their sports organization. Not only does this apply to demographic segments, but it also relates to the stage of the buying process they are in, the particular needs a product or service addresses, and even different personality types. This understanding is the foundation from which all SportSOS marketplace's strategic and tactical decisions were built.

In fact, our recent survey of sample companies, 98% of the employees surveyed said they were proud of their company’s efforts in the youth sports community. Philanthropy enhances team building, recruiting, retention, morale and employee satisfaction through community involvement programs".
