      <title>Skip's Garage Donates Beer Pong Table for Breast Cancer</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Skip’s Garage will donate a pink PORTOPONG inflatable beer pong table to a local beer pong tournament that will sponsor a participant in the Boston Breast Cancer 3day for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.</p><p>South Windsor, CT -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/07/2010 --   It is not everyday that beer pong can be associated with supporting breast cancer research.  However, Skip&apos;s Garage, a CT web-based company, is showing its philanthropic side by donating merchandise to aid in the research, education, screening, and treatment for this nefarious disease.<br />
<br />
Skip&apos;s Garage will donate a pink PORTOPONG inflatable beer pong table that will be given out at a local beer pong tournament fundraiser on June 5, 2010 so that a participant walking in the Boston Breast Cancer 3day can raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  The Breast Cancer 3day event will take place from July 24-26 and be comprised of thousands of men and women who will be showing their unbridled support for the advancement of breast cancer research and medicine.  <br />
<br />
This will be the second year that Skip&apos;s Garage, a leader in beer pong supplies online, has donated merchandise to aid in fundraising for the Breast Cancer 3day.  According to Kylee Day, who is putting together the beer pong tournament, the pink PORTOPONG inflatable beer pong table was a "huge hit", and she is excited that Skip&apos;s Garage has decided to be a part of this remarkable event again.  Skip&apos;s Garage has merchandise on its website in which proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help fight cancer, so it has been doing its part in aiding the battle against cancer.<br />
<br />
When there are opportunities to help others in need and be associated with a great cause, Skip&apos;s Garage does not hesitate to rise to the occasion.  The PORTOPONG inflatable beer pong table is just a small factor in fundraising for the Breast Cancer 3day, but it will play in integral role in getting people together.  The intent is to raise even more money this year for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and hopefully Skip&apos;s Garage will be a major factor in the equation.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Skip’s Garage has officially signed on with StudentCity to throw the first major spring break pong tournament in March 2010 in Panama City Beach, Florida with the grand prize package being entry into the World Pong Tour Championship in Atlantic City, NJ for a chance at $50,000 in cash and prizes.</p><p>South Windsor, CT -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/06/2010 --   Spring break and non-stop partying go hand in hand, which is why having a beer pong tournament in the mix should only sound natural.  Amidst the beaches, cerulean ocean waters, and sea of party-goers, Skip&apos;s Garage and StudentCity manage to create another form of entertainment for prospective travelers.<br />
<br />
Skip&apos;s Garage of K&amp;W Solutions, LLC has surreptitiously built a reputation of being the Wal-Mart of party games and supplies since its emergence in November 2008.  After a successful promotional campaign in Panama City Beach, FL in March 2009, Skip&apos;s Garage and StudentCity formed an alliance to provide more innovation in partying for spring breakers after months of negotiating.<br />
<br />
This spring break pong tournament will take place at the Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City Beach, FL throughout the month of March this year.  There will be many teams competing for a chance to win multiple prize packages that includes spring break goodies, an inflatable beer pong table, and entry into the Atlantic City World Pong Tour Championship with hotel stay from June 13-15, 2010 (valued at $750) for a chance to play for $50,000 in cash and prizes, including a $25,000 grand prize.<br />
<br />
StudentCity specializes in the ultimate spring break experience and is renowned for its all-inclusive trips, exclusive incentives, and top billed performances.  StudentCity has worked with MTV, MTV2, and tons of other companies, which made the decision to have a chance to host a spring break tournament easy for Skip&apos;s Garage.  Skip&apos;s Garage co-founder KJ Camera stated, "We are extremely happy that StudentCity has brought us on board to help them make beer pong part of spring break, and we are very optimistic about future collaborations."

      <title>Skip's Garage is Quickly Becoming the Wal-Mart of Party Games</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Skip’s Garage is capitalizing on the party game phenomenon known as beer pong by creating a business dedicated to addressing all the needs of its vast fan base and revolutionizing the way people can enjoy their favorite party activity.</p><p>South Windsor, CT -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/17/2009 --   Wet balls and drunken frat guys should never mix.  However, when it comes to party games beer pong is king and Skip&apos;s Garage provides enough tables and accessories for every one to enjoy this ueber popular pastime.<br />
<br />
In November 2008, UConn graduate KJ Camera and his best friend Bill Bogner of K&amp;W Solutions, LLC created Skip&apos;s Garage based in Storrs, Connecticut. Skip&apos;s Garage is an online store dedicated to meeting the needs of people passionate about beer pong, beirut, and other accessories devoted to partying.<br />
<br />
After seeing the overwhelming success of many people with internet-based businesses in the last few years, they conducted some research and spent thousands of hours and personal savings toward creating a business they were passionate about. "I was unsuccessful in a few previous attempts to capitalize online, and it took a couple years of spending numerous hours working out the kinks before I finally figured it out," according to Skips Garage co-founder KJ Camera.<br />
<br />
Once their site was launched in January 2009, they did about $1500 in sales the first month which is unheard of for a new online store in this market, especially one with little quality search engine placement and practically no online ranking. Ever since, the business has expanded tremendously going from 10-20 hits a day to 200+ daily and seeing revenue of roughly $15,000 per month.  With a conversion rate of 4.02% (unheard of for any new small business) they are making a big splash in a pool full of booze.<br />
<br />
The Skip&apos;s Garage team has traveled from Connecticut to Panama City Beach, Florida promoting its business.  Most recently, on June 11-13 they attended and sponsored the Atlantic City Beer Pong Championship hosted by the World BeerPong Tour. Team Smashing Time—winners of the World Series of Beer Pong in Las Vegas in January 2009—walked away with $25,000 and ultimate bragging rights.<br />
<br />
Skip&apos;s Garage manages to increase their customer base exponentially, reach their target demographic through creative marketing, and beat the prices of all their competitors.  If Camera and Bogner have done this in only seven months, imagine what they can do in a few years!<br />
