FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 15, 2012
Seattle Sounders FC
team with America SCORES Seattle to break world record.
10 cities. 3000+
dribblers. One world record.
September 29th
at 2PM @ Seattle University.
Seattle, WA -
Over the past month, the world watched in awe as the world’s best athletes
broke record after record at the 2012 London Olympic Games. While the Games may
indeed have ended, the opportunity to break yet another world record
beckons…this time to anyone living in Seattle or any of the 10 America SCORES cities
of Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York,
Portland, San Francisco and St. Louis.
The Great America SCORES Soccer Dribble is a national event
that’s being coordinated locally by America SCORES Seattle. SCORES supporters will be joining forces with
other America SCORES cities to break the Guinness World Record for the number
of people dribbling a soccer ball at the same time. The current record is 2,068
set by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in the Gaza Strip.
The attempt will be made at Seattle University on Saturday,
September 29th, 2012 from 2 – 4 PM. Participants will receive
a new soccer ball, an event t-shirt, a chance to win a Sounders FC autographed
team jersey and a skills demonstration with Seattle University men’s soccer
players. Fun activities are planned for
the whole family.
All funds raised from this record breaking event will benefit America Scores Seattle, a nonprofit that helps underserved elementary school students with programs combing soccer, literacy and service learning.
