NBA ALL-STAR THEO RATLIFF DONATES 12K BOTTLES OF HIS SIGNATURE
SPORTS DRINK REBOUND FX™ TO HURRICANE KATRINA VICTIMS

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - NBA All-star Theo Ratliff, Youngevity and the World Basketball Association (WBA) announced today the shipment of twelve thousand donated 16 oz. bottles of Ratliff’s ready-to-drink signature sports drink, Rebound fx™ Tropical Tirade to the disaster relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Working with Councilman Bill Stallworth, 9,600 sports drinks were delivered on September 10th to two Biloxi, MS churches where they were distributed to those affected by the hurricane.

An additional 1,200 bottles were distributed to the World Changers Church International on September 9th and another 1,200 bottles will be delivered September 15th to the Hosea Feed The Hungry in Atlanta, GA. Both organizations are providing assistance for victims who have been relocated to Atlanta .

“I come from a small town in the south, so after seeing the devastation and destruction from the hurricane, it touched my heart,” says Ratliff. “So many people were without food, nutrition or vitamins. We thought it would be a good idea to not only give money, but to give this drink Rebound fx™ that was formulated for me to promote a healthy lifestyle. Rebound will give them the nourishment and energy that they are not getting right now.”

This donation was made possible by Theo Ratliff, Youngevity (the makers of Rebound fx™), Mike Glenn (Commissioner of the WBA) and Phil Oliver (Health Advisor of the WBA). All parties included have ties with the Biloxi, MS area, as that is where the WBA has a professional team, the Gulf Coast Bandits . Dove Mailing Company provided the transportation of the 10 pallets.

Rebound fx™ is a high energy drink that offers a balance of antioxidants, natural herbs and important minerals without excessive amounts of sugar like most sports drinks.

In 2004, Ratliff – the Portland Trail Blazers’ center and 2001 NBA ALL-STAR, entered into a 10-year contract with Youngevity introducing and promoting Rebound fx ™. Ratliff’s photo appears on the bottle. For information about Rebound fx™, visit: Theo Ratliff's website.
