Perfect Game Joins Forces with GOODLES to Boost Youth Sports
References: perfectgame.org
Perfect Game, the expansive youth baseball and softball scouting organization that evaluates hundreds of thousands of amateur athletes annually, has designated GOODLES as the Official Mac and Cheese of its tournament circuit and player development events. This partnership will place the food brand's microwavable protein-and-fiber fortified noodle cups into welcome packages and on-site sampling stations at marquee competitions, including the WWBA National Championships and the All-American Classic.
The collaboration between Perfect Game and GOODLES is rooted in the shared observation that baseball families spend extraordinary amounts of time in transit, parking lots, and bleachers, where access to nutritious food is often limited, and convenience typically comes at the expense of ingredient quality. GOODLES seeks to resolve this with its proprietary noodle formulation that delivers fourteen grams of protein and seven grams of prebiotic fiber per serving while maintaining the taste and texture profile of conventional boxed macaroni.
