The Urbandale Community School District is alerting Greater Des Moines businesses and residents of an advertising sponsorship scam involving a company operating under the name of Touchdown Sports. The company is falsely claiming to be working with the Urbandale High School cheerleading program and requesting funds for T-shirt sponsorships, the district said in a release. No schools, teams or programs within the Urbandale Community School District are associated with Touchdown Sports or any other company claiming to be soliciting advertising promotions or sponsorships on their behalf. In June, a similar scam involving Touchdown Sports was reported in Seminole, Texas, the district said. Anyone contacted by Touchdown Sports, or by any business claiming to be soliciting advertising promotions on behalf of Urbandale schools, teams or programs, should contact the district’s activities department or the Urbandale Police Department.
