Cherry-flavored 5-Hour Energy to support Special Operations Warrior Foundation

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — Living Essentials on Friday announced a second year of its limited edition cherry flavored 5-hour Energy shots in support of the nation's military. From May 1 through July 31, 2015, the company will donate five cents from the sale of every specially marked red, white and blue bottle of cherry flavored 5-hour Energy to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the military's special operations forces and their families through college scholarships, family services and financial stipends.  

 

The minimum guaranteed donation is $200,000.

 

"Last year's program was a huge success and customers loved cherry flavored 5-hour Energy shots, so it was a no brainer for us to support this worthy cause for another year," said Melissa Skabich, Living Essentials' communications director. 

 

To kick off the second year of the program, the SOWF logo will be placed on the hood of NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer's red, white and blue No. 15 Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing at several upcoming races on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, including May 9 at the Kansas Speedway, May 15 at the All Star Showdown, May 24 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and June 14 at Michigan International Speedway.

 

"We are grateful for the wonderful support and generosity from the makers of 5-hour Energy and driver Clint Bowyer," said Steven McLeary, Special Operations Warrior Foundation's executive director. "The funds donated are a huge investment in the families of fallen special operations heroes, allowing us to continue to honor the sacrifices of fallen warriors by sending their survivors to college."
