## **Donated Merchandise from Championship Sporting Events**

 1. Good360 leverages its background, expertise and track record. Especially in logistics
    and donations management and distribution. For that’s in order to provide a valuable
    service to sports organizations. Especially those that have merchandise left over
    from teams who do not win playoff games or championships.
 2. For they are able to provide their partners with the peace of mind. I mean that
    those branded items will be handled appropriately and distributed. All in a way
    that eliminates the risk of those goods finding their way back into US channels.
 3. This is their fourth year partnering with the [NFL](http://www.nfl.com). In addition
    and last fall, they partnered with MLB. That was for the first time. All to distribute
    excess goods after the World Series

### **How does it work (with the NFL)?**

Before a big game or series, the inventory is at various controlled points. I mean
around the US.  Shortly after the event, details about the exact products available
will be sent to Good360. So at that time, they will notify appropriate nonprofit
members. So I mean within their network. Finally and then confirm who has a need.
Especially for that particular type of product (for example, shirts, sweatshirts,
hats).

Once they confirm the recipient nonprofit partner(s), the merchandise is shipped.
All to a domestic location. That’s from the various controlled points and stored.
All until there is enough product (through this donation and other sources) to fill
a container.  It is then shipped to approved overseas locations. Then it’s distributed
to people in need.

### Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

 1. Good360 fully and rigorously vets all of its nonprofit members. That’s to ensure
    that any donated product is distributed. Moreover and put to the use it was intended.
 2. In the past, they have sent merchandise to countries in Africa, Latin American 
    and Asia. Also Eastern Europe and the Middle East
 3. For this year’s merchandise, they are working with nonprofit partners now. For 
    that’s to determine the destination(s).  It will be sent to locations. That’s where
    a confirmed need is identified. So then the country(ies) will be approved. Finally
    and by [the NFL] in advance.
