Charleston Battery Featured on the Cover of The Real Yellow Pages® from BellSouth
Charleston, SC. The Charleston Battery Soccer Club will be featured on the cover of the 2005-06 Charleston edition of The Real Yellow Pages from BellSouth. Delivery of more than 579,000 directories to area residents and businesses will begin August 8.
BellSouth will honor the Charleston Battery at a Cover Unveiling Ceremony at halftime of the August 7 Battery match vs. Virginia Beach. The ceremony, featuring local and state elected officials, will begin at approximately 7 p.m. at Blackbaud Stadium
"We are proud to feature the Charleston Battery on the cover of The Real Yellow Pages here in Charleston," said Ted Creech, Corporate and External Affairs Regional Director for BellSouth. "As Charleston and the southeast's leading yellow pages directory, BellSouth is excited that users of The Real Yellow Pages will get a wonderful glimpse of the excitement of Battery Soccer each and every time they use the directory."
"We are thrilled to have partnered with The Real Yellow Pages from BellSouth. It provides us with an opportunity to showcase our product in every home in the Charleston, SC area. We look forward to a long-lasting and successful relationship," said Nigel Cooper, President of the Charleston Battery.
Charleston Battery midfielder Ugo Okoye will be featured on the front cover of The Real Yellow Pages. Okoye, 24, is in his first season with the Charleston Battery and has notched one assist in eleven games played.
As part of its distribution, BellSouth will also deliver a companion directory that will feature Midfielder Josh Smith. A Dallas, Texas native, Smith, 23, is in his second season with the Battery and has featured in every game played to date in the 2005 season.
The Real Yellow Pages will be featured throughout Blackbaud Stadium and at Charleston Battery games, including on two new photo boards of Battery players, where fans may pose as one of the players and have their picture taken. In addition, Bellsouth will sponsor the The Real Yellow Pages Player of the Game and will be the title sponsor of the The Real Yellow Pages Fan Appreciation Table.
The front section of the The Real Yellow Pages includes the award-winning Community Information Pages with special sections devoted to information on schools, government offices, area museums and attractions, sporting events, weather and emergency planning, as well as other important local information.
In addition to the standard size and companion directories, The Real Yellow Pages Charleston edition is available on CD-ROM and on the Internet at www.realpages.com.
