DENVER, CO, Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

New Age Beverages Corporation, (NASDAQ: NBEV) the healthy functional beverage company dedicated to providing better-for-you alternatives to consumers around the world, announced today that it has become the exclusive supplier of healthy functional beverages to the Darrelle Revis Foundation (DRF). New Age will provide healthy drinks to disadvantaged children across all DRF-affiliated school districts that participate in the foundation’s Power Pak Program, as well as various additional programs.

 KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • New Age Beverages has committed to supporting the Darrelle Revis Foundation’s efforts to combat childhood malnourishment and strengthen urban communities across America
  • The Darrelle Revis Foundation will provide New Age Beverages' portfolio of healthy products at their events, and for participants in their charitable initiatives with schools, the Power Pak program, and others for the benefit of disadvantaged youth

Founded by 7-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl Champion Darrelle Revis, the Darrelle Revis Foundation, a 501(C)(3) based in Plantation, Florida, is dedicated to the reversal of childhood malnourishment, and inspiring a commitment to daily exercise through service, mentorship, and education for impoverished students in urban communities across America.  DRF’s pilot program Power Pak, provides healthy yet tasty foods and beverages that disadvantaged children can benefit from when at-home nourishment is scarce or school meal programs are unavailable.  The Power Pak contains easy-to-prepare, nutritious foods, snacks, healthy beverages, and vitamins.  The Pak breaks down into six healthy meals that give children all the nutrients and vitamins they need to function mentally and physically on an optimal level. Through alignment with local school districts, the food and beverages are stored in participating schools’ cafeterias. Leak proof, low density, zip-handle bags are then packed by school nutrition staff and volunteers. The Paks are discreetly distributed to eligible children on Fridays or before school breaks.

“We are always seeking alignments that provide DRF the opportunity to make an economic, social and environmental impact. We are excited to have New Age as our official beverage partner. With the support of New Age and the challenges that lie ahead, we feel confident through this partnership that we can change lives together.” – Darrelle Revis

As New Age Beverages continues its rapid growth, the company is committed to significantly expanding its engagement in various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.  New Age is committed to providing healthier alternatives for the more than 50% of all kids in the United States that still drink at least one soft drink per day.  Ingrained in New Age’s mission is the firm belief that corporations have a responsibility to leverage their platform and function as agents of positive social change wherever possible.  An essential component of that mission is to collaborate with high-impact individuals like Darrelle Revis, who are committed to setting a positive example and taking a stand, and are willing to use their vast influence to bring healthy lifestyle awareness to consumers of all backgrounds. Revis and New Age will join forces to strategically create healthier, stronger communities for America’s youth.
