Omaha, NE – August 30, 2011 – Proxibid (www.proxibid.com) the world’s largest real auction marketplace, today announced that it has entered into a strategic marketing agreement with Husker Sports Network during the 2011-2012 Husker football season. Under the agreement, Proxibid will be the title sponsor of the “Proxibid N’Side Nebraska” show. Additionally, each installment of “This Week in Husker Football” with Bo Pelini will highlight one item up for bid on Proxibid to benefit the TeamMates Mentoring Program.
The partnership with Husker Sports Network is a natural fit for Proxibid. The reach of the Network, the popularity of the Huskers, and interest in Big Ten football are boundless, just like the Internet.
“We are excited to have Proxibid join the Husker Sports Network team,” said Lane Grindle of Husker Sports Network. “Proxibid’s culture of innovation, hard work and philanthropy make us logical partners and we welcome them as our title sponsor of this new program.”
Throughout the season, bidders will have the opportunity to bid online for Husker memorabilia through auctions posted on Proxibid. The proceeds from each auction will support the TeamMates Mentoring Program, which provides mentors to youth to encourage them to graduate from high school and to pursue a secondary education.
“We are thrilled to be able to partner with Husker Sports Network during the upcoming football season,” said Ken Maxwell, Director of Marketing for Proxibid. “This partnership allows us to help raise awareness about Proxibid as well as support TeamMates by enabling bidders from anywhere to purchase memorabilia online.”
