Entertainment Publications Kicks Off Football Fundraising Program Through Exclusive Partnership with Glazier Clinic(TM)

DETROIT, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Entertainment Publications LLC, http://www.entertainment.com, the leading provider of discount offers, coupons and promotions, today announces it will be the exclusive fundraising partner of Glazier Clinics(TM), http://www.glazierclinics.com, a nationally renowned source of elite high school football coaching clinics.

With more than 35 clinics and a network of 30,000 high school football coaches nationally, Glazier Clinics offer football coaches a three-day training course packed with expert-led sessions on a wide range of topics from zone pressure schemes to team mentality and character building. The clinics showcase some of the nation's greatest football minds from the NFL, college and high school championship ranks. On average, Glazier Clinics presents 100 different sessions for football coaches to choose from during the three-day clinics.

High school football games attract millions of fans, bringing communities across America together. Whether people have children or not, high school football games are a weekly tradition - a gathering place to socialize and root for their home team. Local business and community leaders wear school colors and hang signs urging the home team to victory. And, on Monday morning, the main topic of conversation and common thread that brings the community together is Friday night's game.

Glazier's football know-how, coupled with Entertainment's fundraising prowess, makes Friday nights possible for millions of Americans. Glazier and Entertainment are both experts in their respective fields. With more than 30 years of experience, Glazier is the go-to expert in providing high school football coaches with comprehensive training in football techniques and program building. Entertainment's proven record of nearly 50 years of success in the school fundraising industry makes it an ideal fundraising partner to support Glazier football coaches.

Entertainment Extreme Fundraising, a division of Entertainment, is a team of fundraising experts focused on providing solutions and structured strategies specific to high school student groups, clubs and athletic programs. This program will provide Glazier Clinic attendees valuable insights and tools to maximize their ability to raise money for their football programs.

The Entertainment's fundraising products offer great value at fair price, saving students and families money while raising funds for football teams. With these funds, coaches are able to build successful programs. In the spirit of bringing together schools and businesses, Entertainment helped Olympia (Washington) Capital's football team raise funds for weight room equipment and bus transportation. The team sold the Entertainment Savings Spree product with valuable discounts from businesses near their school, personalized with their school colors, logo and schedule.

Through this partnership, Glazier Clinics and Entertainment Publications are offering coaches a 50 percent discount on a 2010 Season Pass priced at $299 for staff and $99 for individuals. This offer includes access to all 35 Glazier Clinics throughout the season, 24/7 access to Glazier Clinic Online and deeper discounts from dozens of football vendors at the events.

"We are honored to partner with Entertainment as a trusted fundraising resource for our coaches and our exclusive fundraising partner for the clinics," said Glazier Clinics President Chris Coughlin. "As sports programs budgets are scaled back on a daily basis, we're confident in recommending Entertainment Extreme Fundraising to successfully raise much-needed funds as Glazier prepares coaches to raise trophies at the end of a successful season."

"In today's environment, high school football programs need funds more now than ever to keep their programs and passion for the sport alive," said Entertainment CEO MaryAnn Rivers. "Glazier Clinics is the premier training ground for the nation's top football coaches and Entertainment looks to provide them with the most effective and low-risk fundraising opportunities available."

The clinics run January through early April 2010 and consist of sessions in drills and fundamentals for every position, as well as up to 80 hours of cutting edge scheme topics.
