Consumers with soccer fever will have a number of ways to score big with T-Mobile USA, Inc., which today launched a national campaign, El Llamado del Futbol. The campaign will directly connect fanatics to exciting promotional opportunities, giving them more chances to celebrate and win during this landmark year for soccer. The multifaceted program kicks off today with a national sweepstakes that gives consumers a chance to win one of 10 trips for two to South Africa.

From March 3 through April 19, consumers will have the chance to enter to win an all-expense-paid trip for two to South Africa in June for a five-night, six-day experience of a lifetime. Soccer enthusiasts can enter the sweepstakes at http://www.tmobilefutbol.com. To increase chances of winning, consumers can enter daily. Each entry will count toward the final drawing of the sweepstakes promotion.  

"We know that our customers — especially our Hispanic customers — are among the most passionate followers of soccer, and we are committed to bringing them exciting ways to connect with the game they love in 2010," said Wendy Pinero-DePencier, vice president of brand and calendar marketing, T-Mobile USA.

Other campaign activities will follow the launch of the national sweepstakes including in-store promotions, retail events, and compelling handset offers with the launch of the T-Mobile-exclusive Nokia 5230 Nuron (http://www.nokiausa.com/NokiaNuron). Upon launch of the device in the coming weeks, customers will be able to purchase the new Nokia Nuron at participating retail locations and receive a special edition soccer ball (while supplies last). The Nokia Nuron will combine 3G speeds with a full touch screen and access to downloadable applications, games, free turn-by-turn navigation, and more, all at an affordable price.

T-Mobile also will offer customers original FIFA-themed mobile content and services to personalize their phones and enhance their overall 2010 soccer experience, including ringtones, wallpapers, games, accessories and applications.

Later this spring, T-Mobile will kick off 2010 Chances to Win as part of El Llamado del Futbol, giving customers the chance to instantly win soccer-themed or cash prizes daily. As part of the promotion, T-Mobile will host retail events in select U.S. cities where fans can meet soccer legends and have the chance to create their own soccer moments through onsite activities.

Pinero-DePencier added, "For a true fan, soccer lasts longer than 90 minutes — it's a chance to connect with family who've followed the sport and rallied behind teams for generations. That's why El Llamado del Futbol will offer a variety of memorable experiences for fanaticos, whether through player appearances at retail events or the ultimate prize, a trip for two in June to South Africa."

In recognition of March as Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Brain Injury Association of Washington (BIAWA) is launching a state-wide education and advocacy campaign: "A Concussion is a Brain Injury. Get the Facts."

According to Deborah Crawley, Executive Director of BIAWA, "As leaders nationally in concussion prevention, through the passage of the Zackery Lystedt law here in Washington State, we are committed to supporting the safety of all of our youth when playing the sports they love.  Coaches, parents and youth athletes need to know that a concussion is a brain injury. Medical evaluation by a licensed health care provider before returning to play following a concussion or even suspicion of a concussion is essential to the athlete's short-term and long-term health.  Being aware of the signs, symptoms and local resources when responding to concussions is the best way to protect young athletes."  

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year U.S. emergency departments treat an estimated 135,000 sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), including concussions, among children ages 5 to 18.

Local attorney, Richard H. Adler, member of the Board of Directors for the Brain Injury Association of Washington, is one of the leaders working towards bringing together a national coalition of youth sports associations regarding the standard-of-care for sports-related concussions. Mr. Adler recently spoke at both the Concussion Summit at the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in Indianapolis and as part of the Center for Disease Control's webinar, "Concussion in Youth Sports: An Overview of Programs, Policy & Resources."  He also was a resource and quoted for the February 8, 2010 Time Magazine – The Most Dangerous Game issue.

Founded in 1983 and celebrating its 27th Anniversary, the Brain Injury Association of Washington (BIAWA) is dedicated to providing prevention and support services to all Washingtonians who have suffered a traumatic brain injury.  BIAWA is the voice for the hundreds of thousands who are affected and the over 20,000 who suffer a TBI annually in Washington State.   For more information about the Brain Injury Association of Washington call 253-238-6085 or the TBI Helpline at 1-877-824-1766
