Uniroyal Tire is now entering its seventh year as a major sponsor of youth soccer. The program will be the same as in prior years - soccer league families receive a voucher for a free Uniroyal soccer ball to be picked up at the local Uniroyal dealer. In addition, 30-day fundraising promotions will be held by Uniroyal and participating dealers to benefit local soccer leagues. "This program is beneficial to everyone involved," said George Aufmuth, Uniroyal Tire brand communications manager.
