Mark Sanchez Joins The Wumblers and the National Center for Youth Issues in Supporting Kids

Ridgewood, NJ, September 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- As the school year readies itself to resume and the anniversary of September 11th serves as an upcoming, annual reminder of the importance of teaching children lessons in working together and making the world a better place, The Wumblers educational initiative and brand continues to expand the success of its "in school" social and global early learning program outside traditional school walls to yet another exciting children's fun and socially enriching initiative that serves to accomplish what over 35,000 public elementary schools are doing in the adoption of The Wumblers educational enrichment programs manufactured and distributed through the National Center for Youth Issues, www.nyci.org.

Following the conclusion of July 4th's wildly successful summertime event held by The Wumblers to both raise money for Tuesday's Children, www.tuesdayschildren.org, and continue children on the path of social learning and responsibility during the vacation months, the results of which landed two surprised children on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon soon thereafter, The Wumblers will launch a similarly enriching and exciting national event at the onset of the NFL season and with the help of the newest quarterback to the NY Jets, Mark Sanchez.

Like many other well known celebrity names and athletes who are both impressed and in support of the goals The Wumblers strive to accomplish with kids, Mark Sanchez is providing the grand prize to this newest innovative event and learning experience, a "one of a kind" Mark Sanchez autographed baby Wumbler.

The goals of this event focus upon teaching kids the importance of working together, giving back, and the merits of showing appreciation and support to those who do the same. Called "Why I Like Football," children will be given the opportunity to answer that question online through www.wumblerpatch.com. The top fifty answers will be chosen and comprise a thank you card to Mark Sanchez for his participation and support of kids while extending equal support to him from his child fans in his new career. The top ten answers will receive prizes as well. And the number one answer wll receive the "one of a kind" baby Wumbler autographed by Mark Sanchez as well as additional unexpected surprises.

Donations from this event will be provided to Tuesdays Children. For further relevant details and entry, go to www.wumblerpatch.com.
