Brown and IPAK Records sponsor “AB’s ‘One Wish’ Super Bowl Promo” on DigitalRodeo.com

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Dec. 18, 2008 The NFL Alumni, Inc. and Ronald McDonald House Charities have been selected as beneficiaries of a portion of the proceeds from IPAK Records’ Ansel Brown’s debut album, which includes the single, “One Wish.” To kickoff sales, Brown and IPAK Records will sponsor the “AB’s ‘One Wish’ Super Bowl Promo” exclusively with online partner, country music social networking service DigitalRodeo.com. The winner of the promotion will receive two tickets to Super Bowl XLIII to be held on February 1, 2009 in Tampa, Fla.

Individuals are automatically entered into the promotion each time they download Brown’s debut album, “You’re Just Smoke,” between December 18, 2008 and January 21, 2009 via the www.digitalrodeo.com/anselbrownonewishsuperbowlpromo website. There is no limit to the amount of times one can enter. The cost to download the 14-song album is $10, and Brown is donating 30 percent of each album’s sales to the NFL Alumni and participating Ronald McDonald Houses.

Brown, who is involved with numerous charitable endeavors, is currently touring and performing his music at children’s hospitals around the country as part of his “Bigger Heart Tour.” His work with children and families is the foundation of his career.

“Ansel Brown has proven that his true feelings are directed at helping kids have a better life, which exemplifies the NFL Alumni’s mission of Caring for Kids,” said NFL Alumni President & CEO Frank Krauser. “In addition to being a tremendous entertainer, he is having a positive impact on a lot of good people with his music.”
