LANDON DONOVAN JOINS WITH THE WILD SOCCER BUNCH FOR CHARITY
Purchase of autographed ball and Wild Soccer Bunch book benefits three non-profit organizations

Soccer player and American hero—thanks to his stellar performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup—Landon Donovan has joined with The Wild Soccer Bunch (http://www.wildsoccerbunch.com) and Sole Books to raise money for charity. A portion of the proceeds from sales of “The Wild Soccer Bunch Kit,” which includes a copy of The Wild Soccer Bunch, Book 1: Kevin the Star Striker and a Landon Donovan autographed soccer ball, will go to the following three impactful organizations:

• U. S. Soccer Foundation – The U. S. Soccer Foundation seeks to improve the health and well-being of children in urban, economically-disadvantaged areas using soccer as a vehicle for social change. (http://www.ussoccerfoundation.org.)

• United Against Malaria – United Against Malaria is a partnership of organizations focused on ending malaria by raising awareness around the world and encouraging increased use of malaria prevention and treatment tools in Africa. (http://www.unitedagainstmalaria.org)

• Rett Syndrome Research Trust – RSRT is focused on the development of treatments and cures for Rett Syndrome, a devastating childhood neurological disorder. With appropriate resources, Rett Syndrome may become the first reversible brain disorder. (http://www.rsrt.org)

The Wild Soccer Bunch Kit costs $29.99 and can be purchased online at http://www.wildsoccerbunch.com/kit/getkit.php . The shiny black ball features an authentic replica of Donovan’s original autograph, printed on the ball and authorized by him as well.

Landon Donovan—captain of the Los Angeles Galaxy, 2009 Major League Soccer’s Most Valuable Player, and winner of two ESPY’s and a special award at this year’s ESPY Awards— is sharing his love for these books with soccer fans throughout North America. “Kids will fall in love with the book and get up and start kicking a ball around,” Donovan said.

The Wild Soccer Bunch, Book 1: Kevin the Star Striker tells the tale of The Wild Bunch, a kids’ soccer team in Chicago. Spring arrives and they find that Mickey the Bulldozer and his gang, The Unbeatables, have taken over their field. Can The Wild Bunch defeat them? Kids in the 8-14 age range will enjoy reading the book to find out the answer!
