Nashville, TN, March 5, 2007 â?¦ PrideSports, maker of the Professional Tee Systemâ?¢ and the #1 wooden golf tee on the PGA TOUR, today unveiled the Cancer Awareness Golf Tee Program, whereby proceeds from golf tee sales will be donated to breast cancer and prostate cancer research, respectively, while golfers purchasing the tees will receive special promotions from Golf Digest Publications.
As part of the program, PrideSports has introduced two unique golf tee offerings. Breast Cancer Awareness tees feature a pack of 75 pink 2 ¾" ProSlim2, along with a special promotion offering a 1-year subscription to Golf For Women magazine. Prostate Cancer Awareness tees feature a pack of 65 blue 3 ¼" performance tees, along with a special promotion offering 12-issues of Golf Digest Electronic Pocket Tips.
"As PrideSports’ golf tees are a staple of the game used by tens of millions of golfers throughout the U.S., we believe there isn’t a better cancer awareness promotion, as these products will touch nearly every player in the game," said John Hohman, Director of Marketing, PrideSports. By donating proceeds from sales to breast cancer and prostate cancer research, respectively, combined with the special offers from Golf Digest Publications, we expect golfers will support this program in a very big way."
Both the Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer Awareness tee packs will have a suggested retail price of $4.99, and they will be available for purchase at sporting goods stores, and golf specialty shops, nationwide.
