GREENVILLE, SC, September 27, 2011-
Dunlop today announced it will become the official squash ball of the
renowned Harlem based urban youth program StreetSquash. This multi-year
agreement between the leading squash brand in the world and the decade
old, ever-growing youth development program begins this Fall when
Dunlop squash balls will be the only balls used at the StreetSquash
courts located on 115th St. in Harlem.
"The StreetSquash program is exemplary in many ways," said Steve Hall,
Director of Marketing for Dunlop Racket Sports. "Using the sport of
squash as a catalyst to promote positive personal development, academic
excellence and a healthy lifestyle to urban youth is such a positive
initiative. As the leading brand in squash, we are happy to play a part
in the process of developing these great kids into scholar athletes and
community members."
"StreetSquash is thrilled to team up with Dunlop as we work together to
introduce the game of squash to hundreds of Harlem public school
students every year. Dunlop has been a long time supporter of our work,
and we are deeply grateful that they have taken their commitment to
another level. All StreetSquash students, from beginners to
high-level collegiate athletes, will benefit from Dunlop Squash and
their generosity," said George Polsky, the executive director of
StreetSquash.
