Funky Monkey Snacks Donation Benefits Youth Organization
FISHERS, IN, June 21, 2010 – This morning, Funky Monkey Snacks proudly joined NBC “Today” Show personality Al Roker as the program’s ninth annual “Lend A Hand” cross-country charity trip kicked-off in San Francisco. As part of the donation to Real Options for City Kids (ROCK), Funky Monkey donated $10,000 worth of its all-natural, freeze-dried fruit snacks to help the youth involved with the program learn more about healthy snack options. ROCK is a San Francisco-based charity dedicated to nurturing the healthy development of children. A viewable clip is available here: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/
“We were thrilled to donate Funky Monkey to the ‘Lend a Hand’ series, especially after finding out that our snacks would be going to ROCK, a great enrichment program with sports and fitness activities that promote healthy child development,”
Residents of the New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles areas are already going bananas for Funky Monkey, the latest, healthy treat to hit the market, arriving in style via brightly-colored Funky Monkey Mobiles since May. The “Funky See, Funky Do” tour will run through the end of September, making dozens of scheduled appearances in each city, including stops at well-attended festivals, events and attractions. In addition to 700,000 free samples, the mobile tour team will also be playing games and handing out temporary tattoos, magnets and other fun giveaways.
