vitaminwater® basketball team scores
for good cause on 12/19


vitaminwater donates to local food banks
for every point tallied


Whitestone, NY (December 10, 2007) - Members of the vitaminwater basketball team usually score points to help their team.  This holiday season, they'll score points so the less fortunate can score a meal.

On the games of December 19th, vitaminwater will donate to food banks across the country for every point scored collectively by members of its basketball team.  the vitaminwater team includes Tracy McGrady (Houston), Dwight Howard (Orlando), Tony Parker (San Antonio), Shaquille O'Neal (Miami), Ray Allen (Boston), David Lee (New York) and more.

The contributions raised will go toward select organizations that serve meals to the needy in the home cities of the athletes. In New York, vitaminwater will donate five meals to Urban Pathways for every point scored by David Lee and his vitaminwater teammates.   vitaminwater will donate product as well.  similar programs will be activated in the other athlete markets around the country.

"Our athletes drink vitaminwater because it helps them perform at their best," said Rohan Oza, Senior Vice President, Marketing, glacéau.  "In turn, we often look for opportunities where our athletes' performance can help needy people and organizations.  We are fortunate to work with some great local organizations like Urban Pathways to provide food and nutrition to those less fortunate during the holiday season."

about glacéau
It all started when one thirsty man named darius wanted better water, but couldn't find any worth drinking, so he decided to make his own.  Along came a guy from queens named mike (he's like darius' robin ... but don't tell him that) and because mike has a gift for the gab, it's no wonder word got around, thus emerged glacéau, a fresh new approach to bottled water.  today glacéau, the leader of the enhanced water category, is the maker of vitaminwater®, fruitwater®, smartwater® and vitaminenergy™.  Now with 750+ full and part-time employees, (that's a big holiday party) glacéau is all about helping thirsty people like you hydrate responsibly with something truly good for your body. for more information visit www.glaceau.com.
