Chicago, IL, September 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- rEvolution, the Chicago-based integrated sports marketing and media services agency, consulted on the title sponsorship on behalf of Navistar for the “Navistar LPGA Classic,” an inaugural 72-hole tournament at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Prattville, Ala.

More than 130 pro golfers are expected to participate, including top players Lorena Ochoa, Karrie Webb, Christie Kerr, Natalie Gulbis and Morgan Pressel.

“Our title sponsorship of the Navistar LPGA Classic links the proud tradition of Navistar's heritage to the dramatic growth and popularity of the LPGA Tour,” said Mike Cerilli, Director of Marketing Communications, Navistar International Corporation. “Alabama is home to many Navistar employees and their families, and we wanted to make an investment in the community and this tournament.

In additional to the title sponsorship, rEvolution consulted on additional hospitality offerings, more prominent on-course signage, accommodations for customer events, television advertising placements and developed partner programs on behalf of Navistar.
