GREENVILLE, S.C. — (April 13, 2010) — Entering Uniroyal® Tire’s Soccer Ball-A-Day Giveaway has paid off for one lucky soccer family. Melissa Broome and her family will start the soccer season off in style thanks to Uniroyal Tire. This lucky family from Tecumseh, Nebraska is the recipient of the Soccer Season Survival Grand Prize package, which included:

• Set of Uniroyal Tires
• $1,000 Check
• $500 Gas Card
• Camera/Video Recorder
• Car Service for the Season
• GPS System
• Car Detailing
• Cooler/Chair Package
• $500 Sporting Goods Gift Card
• $250 Parents’ Night Out Gift Card
• $250 Snack/Food Gift Card

"Words can’t adequately express our excitement and appreciation,” said Broome. “The prizes are a great blessing to our family. Thanks to the Uniroyal Soccer Program for providing this great opportunity to us.”

The Broomes were picked out of thousands of entrants from across the U.S. who entered at www.UniroyalTires.com/sweeps. The sweepstakes was part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Uniroyal Soccer Program, which donates funds and equipment to youth soccer leagues across the country. To date, the program has donated nearly $12 million in funds and equipment, including nearly one million soccer balls, to young soccer players and the communities that support them.

“Since its founding, the Uniroyal Soccer Program’s aim has been to make a difference in local soccer communities,” said Ashley Ramos, Uniroyal communications manager. “The soccer sweepstakes is another way we can reach out to soccer families and help make players’ and their parents’ games a little more fun.”

This year Uniroyal will be continuing to support soccer families with a new sweepstakes, the Uniroyal Soccer Ball Design Challenge. Soccer fans and players will have the opportunity to become the official designer of the Uniroyal soccer ball for the 2011 season. Interested participants should visit www.UniroyalTires.com/sweeps beginning August 1 for details about this year’s contest.
