Sorpresa! and Major League Soccer Team up for Multi-Platform Youth Soccer Community Outreach Campaign

Juniper Content Corporation’s (OTCBB: JNPC)(”Juniper”) ¡Sorpresa!, America’s fastest-growing Spanish-language children’s network, has teamed up with Major League Soccer (MLS) to launch an innovative youth soccer campaign that promotes active and healthy lifestyles. The “Juega Como un MLS Pro” or “Play Like an MLS Pro” youth soccer initiative combines local grassroots outreach, interactive online and TV programming elements.

“¡Sorpresa! provides MLS with an ideal opportunity to reach out and celebrate the special cultural connection that kids have for soccer,” said Marco Liceaga, Director of Marketing for MLS. “Together, we offer unique opportunities for children to get involved while striving to promote healthy exercise habits and build self-esteem.”

“MLS has been extraordinarily successful in its community outreach programs, and their youth soccer campaigns are without equal,” said Maria Badillo, Vice President of Programming for ¡Sorpresa!. “We believe that ¡Sorpresa!’s youth and family audience will embrace our shared message of getting more active and involved. Soccer can be the answer, and we are thrilled to be a messenger.”

This unique partnership provides MLS the opportunity to reach over one million Hispanic households through the ¡Sorpresa! network, which is available in 22 of the top 25 Hispanic US markets as well as Puerto Rico.”*
