Smartsheet Sponsors Pacific Northwest Soccer Club
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Smartsheet, producers of a leading online collaboration tool for team projects and processes, today announced it is the proud sponsor of the Pacific Northwest Soccer Club (PacNW). PacNW is one of the top premier youth soccer clubs and is the second largest club in Washington state, with 60 teams and more than 800 youth athletes.
“The synergies between our two organizations are many, but fundamentally stem from our dedication to helping teams excel and be successful in achieving their goals,” said Mark Mader, President and CEO of Smartsheet. “Additionally, being an active, positive participant in our local community – and especially supporting youth and their development – is something our team is very passionate about.”
PacNW President Todd Johnson added, “We couldn’t be more excited to have Smartsheet back us, on and off the field. We use the spreadsheet-like collaboration tool to help us efficiently manage the club and coordinate countless tournaments, practices, volunteers, coaches, athletes and parents. As anyone who’s ever been involved in a large-scale sports organization knows, there are millions of moving parts. Being organized and efficient behind the scenes means we’re able to spend more valuable, quality time with PacNW players and working on ways to keep the club growing. Having Smartsheet as our lead sponsor is a perfect fit.”
Leighton O’Brien, PacNW Director of Coaching added, “Smartsheet’s brand embodies excellence in productivity and team work, and everyone at PacNW – from the coaching staff to the players – is proud to represent it.”
In addition to the more than 30,000 organizations that use Smartsheet, many sports teams and clubs rely on the collaboration tool to keep operations running smoothly and communications centralized and efficient.
