    PHIT America Founder Selected to Tennis Industry Hall of Fame

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: Mike May PHIT America 561.317.6111 [email protected] www.phitamerica.org PHIT America Founder Selected to Tennis Industry Hall of Fame Jim Baugh To Be Recognized for Long, Impressive Career with Prestigious Honor SILVER SPRING, MD – July 29, 2014 -- PHIT America, the non-profit education and advocacy organization designed to combat the nation’s inactivity and obesity crisis, proudly announces that its Founder and CEO Jim Baugh will become the ninth inductee into the Tennis Industry Hall of Fame. Baugh joins tennis legends Billie Jean King and Nick Bollettieri to receive this prestigious honor. He will be recognized during the Tennis Industry Association (TIA) Forum and Show on August 24. Plaques of Tennis Industry Hall of Fame inductees are on permanent display at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. A resident of Jupiter, Florida, Baugh’s career in tennis began nearly four decades ago when he became an area sales representative for Converse. Since then, he has progressed to be one of the most recognized leaders in the industry. Throughout his illustrious career, Baugh has taken pride in a commitment to growing the game. When tennis saw participation numbers dwindle in the late 1990s, Baugh – then head of the TIA – launched several new programs to recruit players to tennis. In just over a decade, the sport grew participation by 36 percent. As President of Wilson Sporting Goods, Baugh helped increase the company’s market share from 14 to 52 percent. He was inducted into the Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame in 2011.

    THE NEWSLETTER OF THE MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE ASSOCIATION OF NSW June 2015 FORUM The week that was MND Week 2015 There are few amongst us who can resist the pull of a puppy. Blessed with deep, trusng eyes and inquisive natures, they are as troublesome as they are playful. But during MND Week, held this year between 3 and 9 May, puppies could only be described as ferocious, targeted weapons of fundraising and awareness as they were deployed in Sydney’s train staons and shopping centres. On Cornflower Blue Day, Friday 8 May, more than 80 volunteers were at Sydney city and metropolitan staons selling branded merchandise including Queanbeyan pens, keyrings, silk cornflowers and yes, puppies (four variees sll available online). More volunteers were at temporary stalls they had established in metropolitan and regional shopping centres. Addionally, individual supporters and HCF and Harvey Norman stores sold selected MND NSW merchandise. During the week more than $40,000 was raised. Thank you to our lovely and generous volunteers. Susan Duric (Volunteer) MND Week Volunteer Coordinator MND Awareness Week is a huge event on our fundraising calendar. This year, we Chatswood were lucky to have the assistance of Susan Duric who coordinated the necessary permissions for venues and organised merchandise, donaon buckets, volunteer t‐shirts and idenficaon badges for our volunteers at the designated railway staons, shopping centres and event venues in NSW, ACT and Darwin. Apart from coordinang our regular event volunteers, Susan also recruited an army of new volunteers from various social media sources making it possible for us to be more visible in the Sydney CBD area.
