HONOLULU, HI—(Marketwired – August 24, 2015) – Jamba Juice Hawaii continues to set the bar high as a leading retailer in “better–for–you” beverage and food offerings by signing celebrity surfer Bethany Hamilton to endorse their healthy and active lifestyle brand. Hamilton will make her first appearance as spokesperson on Monday, August 24, 2015 at Kahala Mall Center Stage from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., where Jamba will be providing free samples of their Pineapple Dreamin' smoothies.
Bethany Hamilton is a global source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith and hope. A surfer born and raised on Kauai Island, she lost her left arm in a 2003 tiger shark attack, which seemingly ended her career as a rising surf star. However, just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water and a year later won her first national surfing title and has since achieved her childhood dream of surfing professionally. Her story has been well documented by a New York Times best–selling autobiography and in the 2011 film, Soul Surfer. Using her platform as a professional athlete to promote living a fit and healthy lifestyle, she also authored the book Body and Soul in 2014.
“The main reason I chose to partner with Jamba is their commitment in providing healthy, nutritional, as well as delicious food and drink alternatives,” said Hamilton. “For my active lifestyle and professional career, Jamba Juice is an enjoyable on–the–go food stop.”
“Bethany not only embodies the healthy and active lifestyle that Jamba represents but she is an inspiration to thousands of people,” said Donna Yano, VP of Jamba Juice Hawaii. “This partnership is truly a win–win situation as both Jamba and Bethany continually encourage people to better themselves in all aspects of their lives.”
Jamba Hawaii's adding of Hamilton as their spokesperson follows closely on the heels of the signing of Major League Baseball superstar and local sports hero Kolten Wong to promote their line of freshly squeezed juices earlier this year.
