BIRMINGHAM, AL - One of the most talented school districts in the country is joining the Eporro.com database this month as the Birmingham City School District has purchased school codes for all seven of their high schools to begin using the Eporro.com service.

"The technology that Eporro.com offers is truly something that can change these young people's lives," exclaimed Birmingham City Schools' Athletic Director George Moore. "I am excited about both the academic and athletic repercussions that this implementation will have on our youth."

Eporro.com President Jim Cavale begin discussions with Moore on the involvement of the seven schools within the Birmingham City School District. Finally, in December, Birmingham Athletic Partnership (B.A.P.) Executive Director Mike Vest pulled the proverbial trigger by funding the efforts and making this opportunity become a reality for student-athletes within the Birmingham City School District.

"Our corporate sponsors love the idea of giving young athletes the opportunity to promote themselves and create opportunities at the college level," stated Vest. "Jim [Cavale] and his group at Eporro.com are on to something special and we look forward to being a part of it."

Eporro.com is now prevalent throughout the state of Alabama in over ten high schools and several school districts. Future marketing plans include co-branding with AL.com and sponsorship of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA). For more information on Eporro.com and what types of package they have to offer for you or your institution, simply email Jim Cavale at jcavale@eporro.com.
