Jamba Juice to Donate a Portion of California Sales to Support
'CAHPERD Jamba Jump Day'--a February 1 Attempt to Break Guinness
World's Record for the 'Most People Jumping/Skipping Rope at the
Same Time' EMERYVILLE, Calif., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
(NASDAQ: JMBA)--Jamba Juice Company and The California Association
for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (CAHPERD)
announced today it will host a CAHPERD "Give Back Day" on Friday,
January 22 at select California Jamba JuiceĀ® stores. In support of
the CAHPERD Jamba Jump Day event--a mass attempt to break the
Guinness World Record for the "Most People Jumping/Skipping Rope at
the Same Time"--a portion of all proceeds on that day will support
the purchase of jump ropes and other expenses needed to
successfully implement the event. Taking place on February 1, 2010,
at 9am, CAHPERD Jamba Jump Day will amass over 80,000 Californians
in schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, service
organizations and clubs statewide as they jump rope simultaneously
for 10 minutes--encouraging healthy living in both children and
adults alike. Coordinated via live webcast and broadcast online,
CAHPERD and Jamba Juice hope to break the current Australian record
of 59,000 jumpers. "We are very excited to sponsor the CAHPERD
Jamba Jump Day event--but we need your help," said James D. White,
president and CEO, Jamba Juice Company. "On Friday, January 22,
visit a participating California, Jamba Juice store, purchase your
favorite smoothie, hot oatmeal, grab 'n go item or other Jamba
offerings, and a portion of your sale will be donated to help
support this amazing event. At Jamba, we are always looking for fun
ways to encourage people to lead healthy and active lifestyles.
Together with CAHPERD and the Jamba community, we can help
Californians get some aerobic activity and jump over this world
record." In addition to giving back a portion of the proceeds from
those sales to help fund the event, Jamba Juice will also host
several CAHPERD volunteer tables outside of select California Jamba
Juice locations where you can drop off slightly used or new jump
ropes, make donations, get information and register to participate
in this ground-breaking event. With February 1 kicking off American
Heart Month, both CAHPERD and Jamba Juice hope that Jamba Jump Day
and its support of rope skipping curriculum, will remind all that
it doesn't require a great deal of money, expensive equipment or
special, elite sports skills to be healthy and fit. To be a part of
Jamba Jump Day and break the Guinness Record, simply visit
