6 Week Promotion Amplifies Jamba Juice's School Fundraising Efforts
with 20% Givebacks and Bananaman Community and School Tour LOS
ANGELES, April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jamba Juice, the
leading provider of healthy, fun and on-the-go food, snacks and
beverages, announced today the kick-off of its latest promotion,
School Bananananza '09--a 6 week long program that begins its
year-long efforts to raise over $1 million dollars for schools
nationwide. In an effort to support and give back to local schools,
participating Jamba Juice locations will sponsor a "Jamba School of
the Week" where, with a flyer, 20% of all sales of any Jamba Juice
product will be donated back to that school. Every week, for 6
weeks, a different school will be showcased--allowing a multitude
of schools throughout the country to participate in this exciting
promotion. Coinciding with the 20% school give-backs, the Jamba
Juice mascot, Bananaman, will be road-tripping across the country
in his Jamba Bananavan--making guest appearances at schools and
local events, encouraging communities to show their support of
schools by sippin' on Jamba Juice smoothies. Passing out school
flyers, smoothies, coupons and Summer-hire applications (Jamba has
approximately 4,000 positions to fill!), Bananaman will represent
healthy, happy fun everywhere he goes--he may even challenge you to
a dance-off! "Jamba Juice has been an avid supporter of school
fundraising for years," said James White, CEO at Jamba Juice. "The
School Bananananza '09 is Jamba's way of involving schools across
the country, with the goal to raise dollars for programs where
funds may be lacking. We work hard to promote a healthy, active,
give-back to the community lifestyle, and that's what the
Bananananza is really all about." Bananaman will kick off his tour
in Los Angeles on April 14. To see where Bananaman is on the road,
