Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ:JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle
brand is today thanking its customers, employees and partners for
contributing to Jamba’s broad social media campaign designed to garner
aid and support for people in the Philippines affected by Typhoon
Haiyan. The Company had encouraged both employees and Jamba customers to
rally together in making donations online, and committed to matching
contributions received with Company contributions.
Jamba’s stated goal was to raise $50,000 in donations over a 3-week
period, committing to match the first $25,000 raised from personal
contributions with an additional $25,000 in matching Company funds.
Employees, customers and partners were encouraged to make donations
through a dedicated Crowdtilt page created for Jamba. Personal donations
exceeded that goal with a total of $54,400 dollars contributed to the
victims of Typhoon Haiyan through the American Red Cross.
Jamba operates franchise store locations in the Philippines through its
franchise partner Fresh Healthy Juice Boosters, Inc., an affiliate of
Max’s Group of Companies. “I am pleased that our team has once again
risen to the occasion by drumming up support for those affected by this
terrible tragedy,” said Jamba Juice chairman, president and CEO, James
D. White. “Our family of customers, employees and partners has always
illustrated a strong commitment to the community. We are thankful to all
who rallied to our call to help make a difference for the people of the
Philippines.”
