PODS in the Park – Local businessman donates sideline storage to Melbourne youth sports leagues

Nov. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- (MELBOURNE, Fla.) – After the recent grand opening of the new Max K. Rodes Park, it didn’t take long for youth sports league directors to realize that they were in desperate need of onsite storage for their sporting equipment at the new and improved 134 acre municipal park. A few quick phone calls were made to Joe Lourcey, manager of PODS Melbourne, and in short order their storage dilemmas were solved.

Lourcey, a longtime Brevard County resident who has spent many years cheering from the sidelines for his own children’s sporting teams, donated ten PODS® storage containers to assist three local sports leagues to keep their supplies safe and secure before and after games.

“PODS Melbourne is one of our most generous supporters,” said Rory Dittmer, past president of the Greater West Melbourne Little League. “Not only has PODS provided us with free storage for over a decade, Joe Lourcey, PODS manager, has personally donated his own time to our league. Joe is our number one fan!”

Since 2001, PODS Melbourne has been serving the moving and storage needs of Brevard County residents, businesses and nonprofit organizations. At Max. K. Rodes Park, PODS Melbourne is donating sideline storage containers to Greater West Melbourne Little League, West Melbourne Football and Cheering and the Melbourne Eau Gallie Fusion Soccer Club.
