Act Global Partners with NFL Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinsons Team

America Initiative for Character & Leadership

Act Global will endow scholarships and fund LT Academy programming within schools in Texas
and California.

Austin, TX, December 09, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Team America and the LaDainian Tomlinson Academy
announced a partnership with Act Global, one of the world's largest manufacturers of synthetic turf,
whereby Act Global will endow college scholarships for LT Academy top performers in Texas and
California. Additionally, Act Global will fund the implementation of LT Academy's Character Education
Performance programs for one year within every school district and university in Texas and California
that implements its turf. Part of his Team America platform, the Character Education Performance
program was founded and developed by former NFL running back and recent Pro Football Hall of Fame
inductee LaDainian Tomlinson.

The program is based on Marine Corps leadership development and established by LT's team of cognitive
neuroscientists, coaches, instructors, and alumni of the program. Through LT's trainers comprised of
former and retired Marine Drill Instructors, the program is implemented year-round within high schools
and colleges to help develop the complete student-athlete.

We have seen amazing results on and off the field from those student-athletes who have completed the
program and this new partnership allows us to develop the best of mankind in school districts and new
regions of the country, said Tomlinson. Through the college scholarships this partnership helps us
provide, we are creating new opportunities for individuals to be successful far beyond college. Act
Global's contribution will have an ongoing positive imprint on these talented athletes for the rest of their
lives."

We are honored to contribute to such an impactful organization, and to have the opportunity to be a part
of the program's continued success in building the complete student-athlete, said Act Global CEO John
Baize. Team America and LT Academy already have a strong reputation for helping players achieve
success and we could not be more excited to be a part of that. We share the program's passion for
student-athletes and the belief that training goes far beyond the playing field.

Team America is Tomlinson's platform of four distinct initiatives for programs of inclusiveness to lead
our nation to a new standard of tolerance and opportunity for all citizens.

Act Global proved to us early that it uses its platform and products to help bring about change to our
communities, Tomlinson added. Act Global's focus not only on the health and safety of our
student-athletes but also their development as leaders for our future sets the standard for corporate
responsibility in my view.

With the shared values of character, leadership, service, and encouraging student-athletes to dream, Act
Global and Team America have developed a strong partnership that will positively impact
