New York, NY, - Powers Solutions Corporation ("Powers"), the leading developer of web-based event management and fundraising software for the non-profit sector, continues to attract new customers and recently added three Chapters of the NFL Alumni (National Football League Alumni).
The NFL Alumni, Inc. is a charitable organization, composed primarily of former professional football players guided in their volunteer efforts by the motto "Caring for Kids". The NFL Alumni's secondary objective is to help its own by offering support to former pros experiencing financial or medical hardship.
For more than 20 years, the NFL Alumni, through its 32 chapters nationwide, has worked to advance its mission of "Caring for Kids" by engaging in hands-on community service and working to raise funds for youth-oriented charitable causes within their respective communities.
The three NFL Chapters that will be using the PowersGEM™ for their 2005 Golf Charity Classic events include Upstate New York, Austin, Texas and Rocky Mountain Colorado.
"...From the minute we were introduced to the Power system, we at the National Headquarters for the NFL Alumni knew this was something that our organization needed to have if we were going to continue to grow our events. We are in the process of identifying potential sponsors who can cover the costs for all 32 chapters in 2006 and the three offices already committed is exactly the start we needed to make this happen. We look forward to the future with Powers Solutions..." - Marty Lerch, Vice President NFL Alumni.
In addition to the three NFL Alumni Chapters, Powers has recently signed agreements with the prestigious Marshfield Clinic, The Central Kansas Medical Center, The Anti-Cruelty Society, St. Thomas Health Service, The Bridgeport Hospital Foundation and several other events for event management companies.
"We continue to be pleased with the acceptance of our products by some of the most prestigious and complex events in the industry. Renewals continue to run over 80%," according to Scott Becker, EVP of Sales and Marketing for Powers.

About Powers Solutions Corporation ("Powers"): Powers is the leading provider of web-based event marketing and management solutions, enabling charities, corporations and associations to significantly improve fundraising yield and cash flow, reduce operating costs, increase overall efficiency and promote the organization's mission and message. Unlike other generic one-size-fits-all solutions, Powers distinguishes itself as the provider of solutions that incorporate event-specific functionality, addressing the detailed functional requirements of the most difficult and resource intensive of events - charity and corporate golf and gala dinner events.
The company also offers supporting products, such as a Volunteer Manager, and is currently developing the Powers Auction Manager (online auction promotion and management module) for release in late 2004.
"Powers is well on its way to being able to offer the most comprehensive suite of online event management tools and related services in the industry - a one-stop shop for the professional event organizer. While our core business segments are Golf Events and Galas/Banquets, we also support on-line auctions in partnership with cMarket.com, and we are developing a preferred vendor platform that will extend the level of services to our customers. This is all part of the reason why some of the most demanding charity events in the nation have selected Powers - and renew each year," says Wendell Minnick, CEO of Powers Solutions Corporation.
