PRESS RELEASE: TV Ears Partners with San Diego Senior Games Association

SAN DIEGO – March 30, 2011TV Ears, a manufacturer of doctor-recommended TV listening solutions, announced today its partnership with the San Diego Senior Games Association as the title sponsor for the 2011 events.

The company made a $25,000 donation to help promote the upcoming North County Games in April and the San Diego Senior Olympics Games in September for the “50 and over” community.

“TV Ears has been searching for an organization to get involved with that promotes healthy lifestyles and the San Diego Senior Games Association couldn’t be a better fit for us,” said George Dennis, Founder and CEO of TV Ears. “It’s very important for individuals to remain active through physical fitness programs as they get older. It’s not only a good lifestyle choice, but this organization has made it possible to still have fun and be competitive after 50. We’re ecstatic to be associated with such a great cause here in San Diego and we’re looking forward to helping increase participation!”

The San Diego Senior Game Association will host the Second Annual North County Games the last two weeks in April and first two weeks in May that will include 14 sporting events. The organizations largest event, the San Diego Senior Olympics, will take place in September and offers local and visiting teams the opportunity to register for 29 different individual and team activities.  The top three winners in each five-year age bracket in every sport will win medals and each participant will receive an official Games t-shirt. The top three winners in each sport will qualify for the California Senior Olympics and the chance to compete for a spot in the National Senior Olympics to be held in Cleveland in 2013.

“We were extremely thankful by the generous donation from TV Ears and it’s evident that they have a real desire to help raise awareness and place a great emphasis on maintaining healthy lifestyles,” said Dick Enberg, Chairperson for the San Diego Senior Games. “It’s these types of partnerships that really allow our organization to thrive and get the word out.
