Titan Players Named to Oreck Power Team for Benefit of Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Oreck Corporation recently signed on to sponsor the Tennessee Titans throughout the 2009 football season to help benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee, according to Oreck CEO, Bill Fry.

"Starting this Sunday, Aug. 9 and running through regular game season, Jan. 3, 2010 on Tennessee Titans Radio Network, fans can select the Titan game MVP," Fry said. "While the player with the most fan votes gets the Oreck Power Team Award, Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee receives a donation from Oreck Corporation," Fry continued.

Oreck, manufacturer of quality cleaning solutions for a healthier home, such as advanced hypo allergenic, bagged vacuum cleaners; air purifiers and other cleaning products, is headquartered in Nashville with manufacturing and call center facilities in Cookeville.

"It makes sense for Oreck to associate with a team like the Titans, known for power, performance and speed just like the Oreck brand," Mike Amburgey, Oreck Chief Marketing Officer, said.

Amburgey reports there are over 450 Oreck Clean Home Center retail stores coast to coast. "Oreck corporation has approximately 600 employees throughout Tennessee," Amburgey said. "As a company, we are committed to the great state of Tennessee, its people, its causes and of course its teams," exclaimed Amburgey.

According to Oreck: to make Titan team picks for the Oreck Power Team MVP game award, fans select from four players deemed Oreck "Power Team-worthy" from the previous game, by texting their choice to a number announced during games on Titan Radio Network. Oreck will make a donation on behalf of the game winning Oreck Power Team MVP to Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee. "Our donation helps support educational and other Club youth programs," Fry reported.

"The award honors Oreck's latest home cleaning technology, the Oreck XL(R) Power Team Vacuum Cleaner system," Fry continued. "A powerful yet easy-to-use offense against dirt, dust, allergens and bacteria in the home."

"Oreck underscores its commitment to Tennessee and the hard working people of the state with a season-long, major advertising campaign on Tennessee Titan Radio Network starting with their first Titan preseason game," Amburgey committed. "Radio ads focus on Oreck manufacturing in Tennessee and Oreck Clean Home Centers around the State run by local people with expertise and involvement in their community," Amburgey said.

Oreck Corporation was founded by David Oreck in 1963. For more information: http://www.oreck.com/.
