Nikken Signs on as SupHer Bowl Sponsor

NASHVILLE TN (July 12, 2002) Nikken is the world's largest preventative health and wellness company established in 1975. Nikken is credited with fueling the new magnetic trend. Nikken produced the world's first support wrap providing 100 percent magnetic coverage. "The reason why many athletic trainers are considering the use of magnets is that they reduce discomfort and promote healing," states Donna Daye Kitchton, Mental and Physical Health Counselor, Independent Wellness Consultant. "Being the first director (1996) of women's fitness and recreation at Xerox Corporation, I agree that the NWFL signals a new era for women in sports allowing them to successfully compete in a sport they love," adds Kitchton. "We think that bringing in sponsors who have products our league and its players can use, is a smart thing and we are pleased to form this association with Nikken," states league CEO, Catherine Masters.
