U.S. Backgammon Federation Announces P-40 Corporate Sponsorship

The U.S. Backgammon Federation (USBGF) announced today that P-40, the American maker of quality backgammon and other game products, has become a corporate sponsor. As a fundraising incentive program, P-40 has generously agreed to donate P-40 products to all new and upgrading USBGF Founding Sponsors including customized USBGF boards, carry bags, custom-embossed checkers, doubling cubes, and dice. Additionally, P-40 will donate custom USBGF boards to the annual USBGF National East and West tournament champions.

In announcing this relationship, Bill Riles, President and Executive Director, said: "We’re delighted to provide these wonderful benefits to our members and to our new Founding Sponsors through this relationship with P-40. P-40 is becoming known for providing quality customized boards and equipment at reasonable costs. Their additional interest in and support for the game through the USBGF is most generous and greatly appreciated.”

P-40 is excited about the opportunity to support the USBGF and its membership. Their goal is to help grow the game by getting more members for the organization and in turn increase play. The feedback they have gotten to date has been very positive and responses of those who have P-40 boards have been helpful and productive in creating custom precision boards for backgammon players and enthusiasts. We are pleased with the relationship between P-40 and the USBGF and plan to continue innovating better products for all players.
