   News Release Contact: Michelle Smith, VP of Marketing 781.639.7088 MomsGuide.com, Inc. Youth Basketball of America and Mom’s Guide to Sports form an alliance to promote GameTime Guides Marblehead, MA, April 2, 2001 - Mom's Guide to Sports and Youth Basketball of America have entered into an alliance in which both organizations will promote and distribute GameTime Guides from the Mom’s Guide to Sports series for team fundraising purposes. The new partnership will offer YBOA members GameTime Guides from the Mom’s Guide to Sports series at wholesale prices. With a suggested fundraising price of $3-$5 per Guide, there is tremendous value and a high profit margin in selling GameTime Guides for team fundraising purposes. “Mom’s Guide to Basketball is a great tool for educating parents at the grass root level of our organization,” said Rick Ruedlinger, VP of Operations, Youth Basketball of America. GameTime Guides from the Mom’s Guide to Sports series have proven to be an exceptional product to sell for team fundraising purposes. Each Guide in the series of twelve different sports explains the basic rules and terms of a given sport, along with colorful field diagrams and referee signal illustrations. For fans, these quick reference pocket-guides increase knowledge and participation in kids’ sports games. Youth sports leagues, teams, athletic departments, and booster clubs have made thousands of dollars by ordering GameTime Guides at wholesale prices and selling them at fundraising prices. The Guides are durable, fun to read, and easily transportable for direct one-to-one sales to fans along the sidelines. “We are excited to be working with YBOA and to have the opportunity to offer their members a fundraiser that is easy to sell, educational and highly profitable,” said Michelle Smith, VP of Mom’s Guide to Sports. About GameTime Guides from Mom’s Guide to Sports GameTime Guides from Mom's Guide to Sports were created by sports-mom Vicki Poretta of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Driving her children to their many different sporting events, Vicki realized she was a passive spectator in her daughter and son's games. She simply didn't know all the rules and terms of so many sports and neither did many of her friends along the sidelines. Finding no handy reference manual other than overly technical and lengthy books geared toward coaches, Vicki created the Mom's Guide to Sports, GameTime Guide series. These handy reference Guides are published and distributed by MomsGuide.com, Inc., of Marblehead, MA, of which Vicki Poretta is a shareholder and board member.
