January 7, 2006, 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...

September 9, 2005, Alpharetta, GA --- The Sport-SOS USA partnership fundraising program is an exciting opportunity for non-profit youth, amateur and professional sports organizations to participate and accelerate the recovery from the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf States. I

t has been said that it takes a village to raise a child. It will take a Nation to Save all of the communities of families, adults, children, pets - and youth athletes of those families. The latest News reports estimate that it will require at least $100 Billion just to clean out and rebuild the infrastructure of New Orleans and Biloxi. This figure could climb to $300 billion as the rebuilding process moves forward. The Congress and the President Bush provide $62 billion in relief. Much more will be needed to replace and repair the land buildings, public facilities, highways and transportation.

But...What about the People? And Youth Sports Families and Organizations affected by Katrina? Sport-SOS is sponsoring a unique sports partnership fundraising program to help people in Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf States. Sport-SOS USA is a not-for-profit volunteer organization and will NOT accept any direct donations.

All fundraising proceeds and donations will be directed to participating non-profit sports organizations. Sport-SOS USA key financial partner(s) in New York will manage all contributions to immediately benefit and restore the lives of all people in the destroyed areas. Proceeds will rebuild homes, bring food and medical supplies, cloth and feed and provide financial aid for those in need. Sport-SOS USA will provide this care for a minimum of at least one full year or until the job is finished.

Once a month, our key financial partner(s) will take the net proceeds from all contributions and direct them back to participating non-profit sports organizations. They will then direct funds to Katrina relief efforts of their choice. At the end of one year, contributions will be returned to participating non-profit sports organization(s). Or they can direct that amount to be contributed to the charitable effort of their choice. Or they can simply re-pledge that amount and direct proceeds to the charity or non-profit organization of their choice. Remember - the original contribution can be returned to participating non-profit sport organization(s) at the end of each and every year.

If you would like to sponsor an on-line fundraising campaign, Sport-SOS can provide FREE on-line donation technology direct to your web site. So, join with us. Help restore families and community. Join Sport-SOS USA partnership fundraising program today. For more information, please contact: Sport-SOS USA Partnership Fundraising Program Coordinator.

August 31, 2005, Alpharetta, GA ---- The "Sport-SOS USA" fundraising program is a special private placement program investing in standard and alternative investment vehicles that optimize the return. One-year commitment of assets is required. Assets will be returned at term or re-invested at investor's discretion. Net proceeds will help non-profit youth sports organizations and individual athletes in America. Sport-SOS makes this program available to all qualified non-profit youth sports organizations in America.

"Sport-SOS USA" was designed to serve the fundraising needs of over 40 million youth athletes involved in community sports programs, over six million in high school sports and over 125 million people including parents and professionals in the United States. They represent 45% of the US population. "As you know, the race doesn't always go to the fleetest of foot. Our mission is to ensure that America's youth athletes have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field.

America is one of the world's great centers of youth sports. It is a credit to numerous non-profit youth sports organizations that have generated this tremendous reservoir of athletic advancement. Now, we want to give non-profit youth sports organizations and individual athletes the capability and unique opportunities to continue to grow their youth sports programs", according to Minna LeVine, Volunteer Founder of www.Sport-SOS.com, a Not-for-Profit Volunteer Alliance.

The "Sport-SOS USA" serves a two-fold purpose: first as an Educational and Awareness industry building vehicle under whose aegis, new and small non-profit youth sports organizations can begin to introduce and penetrate their organization to the immensely deep and lucrative charitable giving community in America. Second, as an investment vehicle to help non-profit youth organizations and individual athletes.

We are asking for and frankly we expect the full participation by those who have gone before; those professional sports organizations, athletes, individuals and corporate partners who have been successful in America. It is your success that has spurred others to expand their own horizons. Individual and corporate donors can participate in by making a cash donation to any non-profit sports partner organization.

Sport-SOS can help you to find a non-profit youth, amateur, high school, college or professional sports organization in your own community. Or we can connect you with one of the non-profit organizations or individual athletes, who has contacted Sport-SOS for help. Or you can help by making a tax deductible contribution.

Sport-SOS Introduces A New Charitable Giving Program.

Alpharetta, GA -- January 2005 --- The Doorbell rings. It is another youth athlete in my neighborhood asking for my support. A business receives another phone call from a local youth sport team volunteer asking for a donation. This reminds us that so many youth sports organizations rely almost exclusively on their volunteers and fundraising to survive. Organizations find it hard to get cash donations and donors have limited amount of cash for donations.

In response to exploding demand for donations, Sport-SOS has developed a new Charitable Giving Program.

It connects individual and corporate donors with youth sports organizations. It provides an individual or corporate donor FREE personal financial advise and efficient way to make a donation. It affords the donor to choose the recipient. It is a win-win situation to donors and youth athletes alike.

This new Charitable Giving Program involves a public charity, a Gift Trust that receives donations, makes gifts and grants to qualified non-profit youth sports organizations. A team of specialized financial planners provide FREE advise to Organizations, Individuals, Companies, Trusts, Estates and other entities on how to establish a Gift Trust and direct contributions to local, state, national and global non-profit youth sports organizations.

Donors can make irrevocable contributions of cash or securities to the Gift Trust. The donor receives an immediate tax deduction up to the maximum allowed by law for contributions.

NASD Alert - 529 College Savings Plans.

Alpharetta, GA, October 2004 --- NASD has issued an Alert because they are concerned that investors may be shortchanging themselves by investing in 529 college savings plans with high fees, plans that currently do not offer them state tax benefits, or both. Families want to get their money's worth especially when it comes to paying for college education.

Since 1997, families have had the opportunity to contribute to section 529 college savings plans. Tax advantage has made them a popular investment vehicle for saving for college. The good news is that there is no shortage of college savings plans. But select with care! Virtually no two plans are the same.

Doing your homework is essential because contribution limits vary by state, state tax advantages vary from state to state and may depend on whether you are a resident of the state sponsoring the plan, investment options, fees and expenses vary greatly. For more info, please visit: NASD website.

Brain Injuries Cause More Deaths Than Any Other Sports Injury.

Alpharetta, GA, August 2004 - - - Over the past years, the rate of brain injuries in soccer has grown nearly twice as fast as the rate of growth of soccer players, according to the SGMA (Sporting Good Manufacturers Association) and CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission). Common head injuries in soccer include lacerations and concussion. Unlike injuries to the lower extremities, injuries to the head and neck have greater potential to be catastrophic.

Soccer is characterized as vigorous, high intensity, intermittent, ball and contact sport. Soccer balls kicked by highly skilled players can travel over 100 km/hour. Although these ball speeds are not reached during most recreational games. A direct blow from a soccer ball or a stray kick may result in fractures, bruising, or even death. In soccer, concussions make up 2-3% of all injuries. This is the same rate as for American football! The American Academy of Pediatrics concluded that the contact that occurs while playing soccer is at the same level as during boxing, football, ice hockey, lacrosse, rodeo, wrestling and field hockey.

According to U.S CPSC, concussions in soccer are caused by 40% head to player contact, 10.3% head to ground, goal post, wall etc., 12.6% head to soccer ball and 37% not specified. According to Dr. Delaney et al at McGill University 2002 found that more than 60% of college-level soccer players reported symptoms of concussion during a single season.

Today, approximately 5 percent of youth soccer players in the U.S sustain brain injury as a result of head-to-head contact, falls, or being struck on the head by the fall. Heading the ball has not been proven to cause concussion, though the result of years of heading is unknown. A study yet to be published from the Ann Arbor Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine reported by Ellen Creager of Knight Ridder Newspapers on March 4, 1999, reported that the researchers found that heading a soccer ball can cause symptoms of concussion, headaches and small but measurable verbal deficits among children. The more headers the child had, the greater the drop-off in his verbal score.

# # #

Alpharetta, GA, August 2004 --- The most common brain injury in sports is a concussion. Head injuries are too often viewed as just “part of the game”. While many head injuries are minor, some can be quite serious, with long-term consequences. Therefore, early detection through a thorough knowledge of the signs and symptoms and specific documentation of the injury is critical to the management of concussions and the monitoring of the natural history of the injury.

The need to accurately diagnose the severity of head injuries is obvious, especially at the time of injury when the triage decision could be critical to the athlete’s future. Returning an injured athlete to competition when the brain needs time to recover is an obvious concern.

One of the reasons for concern is the second impact syndrome. The cumulative effects of repeated injuries, even mild injuries, over time remains a serious concern to those involved in sports medicine.

Recommendations for concussion and return to play? In general, if an athlete has any symptoms of the field that are related to a concussion, the athlete should not be allowed to continue to play. Additionally, athletes with concussions should always be evaluated by a physician before return to athletic play. Parameters for return to activity in the asymptomatic athlete should be the same for all sports, regardless of the degree of contact or use of protective equipment such as helmets. Caution should always be exercised for making return to play decisions because the athlete’s motivation as well as peer or coaching pressure may be significant factors.

When a concussion occurs, the athlete should be observed and evaluated for a minimum of 15 minutes. Only when the athlete is totally asymptomatic, passes memory and concentration tests, and has no symptoms after provocative testing, may the athlete be returned to play.

# # #

Atlanta, GA, July 2004 --- Playing soccer safely is part of the game. Some people believe that young players should wear protective headgear. The head protection can be provided in soccer without changing the game of soccer. It is recommended to use protective head gear and lightweight balls in instructional leagues, when children are learning to head the ball and are most likely to bounce it off the vulnerable top or sides of the head rather than on the hard frontal area.

Dr. Lyle Micheli, Director of Sports Medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston has been quoted on NBC News as saying: "Children do not have the musculoskeletal maturity or coordination to handle a header like an adult would. Kids are not fully developed until they're about 14 years old. I recommend that no child under the age of 14 should head the ball." "Most parents view soccer as a sport that kids don't get hurt in," says Janda, who co-authored the study with colleagues Cindy Bir and Angela Cheney. "They don't want to hear this.

But our concern is that, just like football, damage from repetitive head impact events can be cumulative." Are head injuries “just part of the game”? The use of protective headgear is left an option of the player and their parents. Should headgear be required as protective equipment in addition to shin guards and footwear?

Atlanta, GA, 2003 --- Youth Sports Ambassadors - is a new and exciting youth sports fundraising program. It gives teams and even individual athletes great new fundraising opportunities.

Youth sports travel is a huge and fast growing market segment both domestically and internationally. This market includes athletes, coaches, volunteers and their family members. Youth sports teams rely on volunteers to coordinate travel arrangements, events, run day-to-day activities and fundraisers to survive. Communities and community based business help their local sports teams but most often local support is not sufficient. Therefore, traveling teams need to find new and innovative ways to raise funds for the escalating costs and out of pocket expenses including travel, transportation, meals, training, uniform, club, coaching and other related fees.

2003 youth sports travel partnership program is a response to the information needs of a volunteer group travel coordinator. Travel coordinator personally knows their traveler, understand their travel requirements but most often, is not an experienced group travel planner. Therefore, they need to reference a one-stop travel industry source where they can find news and contact information on travel agents and suppliers that cater to their needs. Preferred travel partner program include destinations, transportation, hospitality, retail travel agencies, tour operators, meetings/ incentives/ conventions planners, restaurants and group ticket agents who cater to youth sports group traveler.

Since 1994, TravelAction has provided specialty travel news to affinity travel coordinators and has entered into local, national and global partnerships with volunteer youth sports travel coordinators around the world.

They create and increase awareness of communities, organizations, businesses, destinations, as well as brands, slogans, products and/ or services. Corporate partners can communicate direct and in a very personal, attractive and innovative manner to a wide range of local, national and international consumers. They are designed to help youth sports teams to raise funds to pay for the escalating costs and out of pocket expenses including training fees, coaching fees, club fees, uniforms, transportation, travel and other related expenses.

These co-op marketing programs are new, unique, very effective and are offered at a much lower rate than ever thought possible!
