WARREN, MICH., – May 25, 2009 – Brine announced today that the sporting goods company has entered into a partnership with the HEADstrong Foundation in an effort to support blood cancer research and awareness. Brine has developed a full line of custom products, of which a portion of all net sales will be donated to the HEADstrong Foundation.
“The HEADstrong Foundation gratefully acknowledges Brine’s creativity and efforts with the introduction of the Relentless 27 product line to promote and enhance Nicholas’ vision to raise cancer awareness and funds toward research, and to help those who are affected with the disease,” said Cheryl Colleluori, Nick’s mother and President of the foundation. “With the launch of this line we are one step closer to winning the battle against Lymphoma. Our goal is to build a team of champions on and off the field to combat the disease that took Nick from us. This is the reason we wear green. We thank the lacrosse community for their continuous support in this fight.”
“As someone whose family has dealt with the effects of blood cancer, I know how vicious the disease can be,” said Neal Goldman, Brine product manager. “After meeting Cheryl and the whole Colleluori family this past winter, I knew immediately Brine could be a great asset to helping raise funds and awareness for the cause,” said Goldman.
The custom line of HEADstrong products includes: HEADstrong Clutch, HEADstrong Edge, HEADstrong SwizzBeat, HEADstrong Swizzle Scandium, and HEADstrong King II glove. The line is available at retailers now.
“I’m really honored to be working with The HEADstrong Foundation. Our relationship goes beyond the realm of the typical partnership,” said Goldman. “We hope to spread Nick’s message of perseverance, commitment and determination by calling on more lacrosse players to expand their community outreach and
help fight this deadly disease.”
