Body Fortress Pledges $100 Thousand To Wounded Warrior Project®

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 52,000 servicemen and women were physically injured in recent military conflicts, and more than 800,000 are living with invisible wounds such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and even brain trauma.^[1] That's why Body Fortress, America's No. 1 muscle and strength development powder brand^?, today announced a partnership with Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) to honor and support service members nationwide. Running now through September 30, 2019, the campaign guarantees that Body Fortress ? a trusted name within The Nature's Bounty Co.'s family of brands ? will donate $100,000 to WWP for veterans and their families.  

Consumers will see the campaign come to life this spring via Body Fortress Limited Edition Super Advanced Whey Protein tubs featuring WWP-inspired camouflage packaging. The product, along with custom-made Protein PAKS ? debuting this summer ? will be available everywhere Body Fortress is sold, including Walmart stores nationwide, with $1 of the retail price from each purchase benefitting WWP. To further celebrate these everyday heroes, Body Fortress will debut new creative video content this summer ? available online and on social media ? featuring warrior Sean Karpf, Sgt. (Ret.) U.S. Army, from Jacksonville, Florida.

"We are proud to give our support to service members and their families," said Don Kerrigan, President, North America at The Nature's Bounty Co.
