for Inspiring Event
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2017--
NETSCOUT
SYSTEMS, INC., (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of business
assurance, a powerful combination of service assurance, cybersecurity,
and business intelligence solutions, today announced its sponsorship of
Special Olympics Northern California’s second annual Breakfast With
Champions event. This year’s event will be held Wednesday, November 1,
from 7:30am to 8:45am at The Westin San Jose in San Jose, CA. Featured
speakers include San
Jose Sharks’ general manager Doug Wilson and chief operating officer
John Tortora, and Special Olympics athlete Ryan Epidendio. Frank
Goodman, NETSCOUT vice president engineering for PFS Solutions, will
introduce the speakers from the San Jose Sharks.
The event provides San Jose business and community members the
opportunity to meet staff and athletes from Special Olympics Northern
California and hear first-hand about the extent and impact of their
programs. Proceeds from the event provide much-needed funding for more
than 21,200 intellectually disabled athletes across Northern California
who rely on the generous donations from the community to receive free
sports training and competition throughout the year, and will also help
support athletes participating in the 2018 Special Olympics USA Games in
Seattle, WA.
“We support and encourage our employees to build strong relationships
with nonprofits in the San Jose community. For the past ten years
NETSCOUT employees have participated in events with Special Olympics
Northern California and always find the experience motivating and
rewarding,” said Michael Szabados, chief operating officer, NETSCOUT.
“Sponsoring major events such as Breakfast With Champions directly
benefits the Special Olympics athletes by supporting programs that teach
sports and sportsmanship, which in turn leads to increased
self-confidence that carries over into their daily lives.”
“We greatly appreciate the overwhelming support that NETSCOUT has shown
our athletes throughout the last ten years,” said David Solo, president
and CEO of Special Olympics Northern California. “Our programs have
grown and evolved so much in the last decade and we’re now able to serve
a larger audience than ever before. Through Special Olympics,
individuals with intellectual disabilities are empowered to become
active members of the community. We thank NETSCOUT for continuing to
help change lives and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish
together in the future.”
