<p>Hi Richard,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It was great speaking with you earlier; thank you again for taking the time! I wanted to follow up with some more information about
<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Audio Descriptive Commentary (ADC)</span></strong> and the upcoming opportunity we discussed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">ADC is a live play-by-play service specifically designed for blind and low-vision fans.</span></strong> It provides real-time descriptions of everything happening on the field. Who has the ball, where
the play is, crowd reactions, and celebrations, so fans can follow the full match experience from start to finish.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We're currently piloting this service with <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">U.S. Soccer</span></strong> and will be offering it at the
<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">USWNT vs. Ireland match on June 29th in Cincinnati</span></strong> at TQL Stadium.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">We\u2019re offering free tickets for visually impaired fans and one companion</span></strong> to attend and experience the service first-hand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I\u2019d love your help spreading the word or connecting us with individuals or groups who might be interested. Please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I\u2019d be happy to provide more details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Looking forward to staying in touch!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Jacob Kaplan<o:p></o:p></p>
