Milwaukee, WI – Filling up on healthy, nutritious food is imperative for active kids that pack their summers with sports camps. But having access to fresh, healthy food can be tough for kids that seem to be home only long enough to sleep. This summer, Cousins Subs and the Milwaukee Wave are teaming up to put parents' minds at ease by offering a lunch option for the Milwaukee Wave Summer Soccer Camps.
Campers can choose from either a 4-inch or 7 ½-inch Cousins sub sandwich for their daily lunch with the Wave at full-day camps. Options are turkey breast, ham and provolone or threecheese. The lunch also comes with chips and a drink.
"Cousins Subs is a great fit for the Wave soccer camps," said Elizabeth Hoffmann, director of marketing for Cousins Subs. "Our sandwiches are packed with delicious meats and veggies on our fresh baked bread and offers a healthier lunch option for camp participants."
Keith Tozer, head coach of the Wave and director of the summer camp program, said: "We always like to listen to the concerns and comments of our campers, and they wanted to have an alternative to our pizza lunch program. We're very happy to have Cousins provide that alternative."
Cousins and Wave Summer Soccer Camps are also enhancing their relationship in a number of other ways this year:
* One lucky camper will win a trip to Chicago with their family to meet sports commentator and Cousins Subs spokesman Dan Patrick at the next Cousins TV commercial shoot. The winning name will be drawn at the Wave's 2007-08 home opener.
* Cousins will also provide meals for the three week-long Overnight Camps, which will be held at Camp Whitcomb-Mason in Hartland.
Cousins Subs will also be hosting a number of Wave Player Appearances to celebrate the partnership. There are four appearances scheduled at area Cousins Subs locations.
* June 7: Cousins Subs, 3815 N. Brookfield Rd. (at Capitol Dr.-Brookfield)

About Cousins Subs
Cousins Subs is based in Milwaukee, Wis., and is a national sub sandwich chain with stores throughout the Midwest and on the West Coast. The tradition of Cousins Subs started in 1972, when two transplanted cousins from Atlantic City saw the need for an East coast–style sub shop in their new hometown. They patterned their subs after the hoagie, grinder, hero and sub sandwiches they enjoyed back East. And with a dedication to delivering quality subs at fair prices, they opened their first restaurant. From the start, the two used bread baked fresh every morning and insisted on using only the finest, freshest ingredients.
Wisconsin-based Cousins Subs® is driven by the mission to Believe in Better, both in the quality of food it serves and in the communities it supports.
