MoPals.com, Inc. (OTCQB:PALS) ("MoPals", the "Company") the world's first community-driven, crowd-sourced loyalty program is pleased to announce that Toronto Raptors' Greivis Vásquez has joined the company's board of directors.

Vásquez's position with MoPals will be multifaceted, acting as board member, brand ambassador and advisor of the company. "He is an inspiration all over the world, in Hispanic communities throughout the United States, Canada and especially in his native of Venezuela. With ambassadors like Vásquez by our side, international markets are now within reach," explains Haditaghi.

 

Through his enthusiasm and commitment to his home team's community, Greivis Vásquez is shooting for a long and promising career with the Toronto Raptors and MoPals is more than happy to welcome him on their team.
