ViSalus Sciences Launches Body by Vi™ Community Challenge to Donate 100,000 Healthy Meals to Children in Need

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 20, 2009 -- LOS ANGELES, CA – November 18th, 2009 – ViSalus Sciences has made another step towards bringing
its mission of Prosperity to families in need. From Fusion Academy, a ViSalus national convention in Tampa, Florida, CEO Ryan Blair announced a new initiative that will leverage the company’s Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake Mix to provide, healthy nutrition to children from coast to coast.

The Body by Vi™ Community Challenge has set a goal of donating 100,000 children’s meals through a network of local Distributors working with charitable organizations in their communities. For as little as 50 cents per meal, ViSalus Distributors and Customers can make a donation to be matched meal for meal by ViSalus.

The Challenge was given a head start towards this goal by Co-Founders Ryan Blair, Nick Sarnicola, and Blake Mallen, who together pledged the first 15,000 meals on stage today.
“Our company is founded in name and spirit on the pillars of Life, Health, and Prosperity,” said ViSalus Chief Marketing Officer Blake Mallen. “To us, Prosperity is about much more than financial freedom; it’s about the ability to give back to the people and causes that touch your heart.”

Chief Sales Officer Nick Sarnicola is humbled to have an opportunity to combine the benefits of
ViSalus products with the giving spirit of the ViSalus community. “To have great products is one thing,”
said Sarnicola. “To have a great product that children can benefit from and enjoy is another. For our
community to make this product available for free to the children who need it most is the ultimate
form of contribution we can achieve.”

ViSalus Founder Ryan Blair was inspired to take this cause to the masses after a recent trip to Jamaica

showed him what a difference the ViSalus community could make. “There are too many children in this
world who don’t have a fighting chance because they simply don’t have the means to get the nutrition
their bodies need each day. To succeed at school, on the athletic field, or simply to grow up to be
healthy, nothing is more important than nutrition, and I hope the children of the world know we don’t
plan on stopping at 100,000 meals,” said Blair.
