PORTION OF PROCEEDS FROM SALES TO GO TO ISLAND HARVEST CHARITY

HUNTINGTON, NY, Sept. 25, 2007 - - Huntington, NY-based 4th & Goal Films, the only company in the U.S. that produces a DVD in advance of the NFL College Players Draft each spring, is offering title sponsorship to the product, with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the DVDs going to Island Harvest, the Nassau County-headquartered charity the helps feed both adults and children in need across Long Island.

Entitled, “2008 PRO FOOTBALL DRAFT SCOUTING DVD: Top 50 Values & Top 10 Hidden Gems,” the two-hour DVD features slow-motion action, special graphics and behind-the-scenes coaches’ films to give fans an inside look at the evaluation process in a unique way.  Among the highlights of the DVD is extensive video analysis (including the strengths and weaknesses of all players), insights from interviews with college coaches, ratings by position and overall potential and, of course, statistics and forecasts. 

“We feel that this DVD,” stated Denis Krusos, founder and president of 4th & Goal Films, “provides a sponsor - - anyone from an auto company, airplane leaser or home real estate franchise agency to a sports apparel company, NFL sponsor or one of their competitors or even a soft drink or energy beverage marketer - - with a unique opportunity to be a part of an industry that involves millions upon millions of Americans every year.”

Krusos points out that in 2007, more than a half-dozen different draft preview magazines hit the stands, selling in excess of a half-million copies at an average price of about $8.00 each.  A separate draft book, selling at $27.00, ended up in another 10,000 hands.  Add in the millions of draftniks who surf the web for similar information, and you have pro football’s second largest event, just after the Super Bowl.

“We are looking for a three-year deal,” noted Krusos, who expects to sell at least 50,000 copies of the DVD, “that will provide the primary sponsor with the title name on the product, one or more in-show commercials, promotional and publicity opportunities, participation in a nationwide advertising campaign paid for by 4th & Goal Films, a national public relations campaign by one of the U.S.’s leading sports and entertainment PR firms and much more.”
