The free and family-friendly Independence Day celebration will kick off at 5 p.m. with a parade featuring former U.S. Congressman Vern Ehlers as grand marshal.

On Saturday, April 16, Nutrilite was the match sponsor of A.C. Milan’s game against Sampdoria – which A.C. Milan won 3-0! If you were at the game you saw Nutrilite branding, products and product experts throughout San Siro Stadium.
About 30 hostesses were roaming around the stands with Nutrilite questionnaires on Apple iPads. Nearly 800 fans participated in a health survey and received a personalized response on Monday that included customized recommendations about which products would best fit their nutritional needs.
After the match, a USD $150,000 check was donated by the Goal by Goal campaign, representing USD $2,500 for each goal scored by A.C. Milan players during the season so far. Star player Robinho accepted on behalf of the team. The funds will be used by the A.C. Milan Foundation to build a new sports center facility where it’s needed in an at-risk area of Naples.
Amway was among the constellation of big stars at yesterday’s Skating with the Stars Gala, a benefit for Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH), where the greatest skaters along with celebrities, corporate and community leaders come together for an evening of ice skating at the Trump Wollman Rink in iconic Central Park in New York City.
Our very own Candace Matthews, Amway Chief Marketing Officer, joined Figure Skating in Harlem’s Board of Directors in 2005 and has served several terms as FSH’s Board Chair and Gala Co-Chair.
Through the Amway One by One Campaign for Children, it is our mission to offer children the resources they need to live, achieve, learn and play, and FSH is an excellent example of a program we support. FSH is the first and only youth development organization that uses figure skating to draw girls from underserved communities into an after-school education and ice skating program, giving them the tools they need to realize their true potential.
Currently up for grabs on charitybuzz.com is a trip for two to attend Artistry on Ice in Shanghai, China. The event, named after our prestige skincare and beauty brand, Artistry, made headlines around the world last year when Olympic gold medal pair Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo exchanged vows on ice. All proceeds from the auction will benefit Figure Skating in Harlem.
This past weekend the winning team from the Amway Nutrilite Junior NBA challenge, the Tigers, made their trip to Los Angeles to attend the NBA All-Star game.
Their journey began last spring when four cities in China and Taiwan held basketball skills challenges for thousands of kids between the ages of seven and twelve. Six lucky kids selected from each city were invited to a city camp where they worked one-on-one with Dwight Howard of the NBA’s Orlando Magic. The boys were then divided into two teams of twelve players each. They competed against each other in games in both Beijing and Taipei. And the winning team made the trip to the United States.
On Friday the team spent the day at the Nutrilite COH in Buena Park where they toured our facilities, enjoyed a fun-filled round of our “Color Yourself Healthy” beanbag game, and were put through the paces in a fitness session with Diane Paetz, Nutrilite’s fitness instructor.
On Saturday they played an exhibition game against the Junior NBA Clippers at the NBA Jam Session in the LA Convention Center. Throughout their visit their biggest support came from Taiwanese celebrity, and former Asian basketball star Chen Chien-Chou, affectionately known as “Blackie” in Asia, who accompanied the team on their trip.
If you’re a fan of the AC Milan soccer team, I’m guessing you already know they scored two goals last night in their match with Cesena in Milan. But as a fan you may or may not know about the goal that went into the net after the game. NUTRILITE and Amway announced last night that they would continue the Goal by Goal Campaign in support of the AC Milan Foundation. Amway Area manager Fabrizio Suaria presented the AC Milan Foundation with a check for US $85,000, a total that represents the 34 goals scored in the first half of the season. Star player Pato accepted the check on behalf of the team and the foundation.
And now that the second half of the season has begun, every time an AC Milan player scores a goal NUTRILITE and Amway will donate US $2500 to the foundation. The money raised will fund the construction of a multi-purpose sports center for children in a depressed, at risk area of Naples, Italy.
Over the past three years the Goal by Goal campaign, as part of Amway’s One by One Campaign for Children, has donated US $250,000 to the AC Milan Foundation.
NUTRILITE is a premier sponsor of the AC Milan soccer team and our scientists work directly with MilanLab’s scientists to provide nutritional consulting and supplementation choices to players on the team.
It’s becoming clear to me how influential the AC Milan soccer team is. Because, really, if you know something about soccer, you know AC Milan. And if you know something about vitamins and nutrition, you know, and “like”, NUTRILITE.
The achievements of exceptional Indian women were center stage last week at the India Today Woman Summit & Awards in Mumbai, presented by Amway.
The summit featured big name speakers like Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi and Marianne Pearl, widow of slain journalist Daniel Pearl. But the real stars were the winners of the India Today Woman Awards – 12 women representing the arts, business, sports, public service and social activism. Amway India sponsored the “Woman of the Year” and “Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year” honors.
The event was created, in the words of India Today Group Editor in Chief Aroon Purie, to “not only acknowledge the contribution of these women but…also allow the newer generation of women, to learn, share and experience what it takes to be the best.”
Long before Amway North America and Artistry built a relationship with the Miss America Organization, our co-founders built a lasting friendship with another Miss America.
Last year during my assignment with Artistry at the Miss America Pageant, I had the pleasure of meeting Maria Fletcher, Miss America 1962. Maria appeared at Amway conventions with Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos decades ago.
This video, taken at the Former Miss America Press Conference, captures Maria reminiscing about her relationship with Amway.
Don’t miss the crowning of the 2011 Miss America during the 90th Anniversary pageant this Saturday, January 15.
Kurt Warner, former professional football player and Super Bowl MVP, has agreed to represent our Nutrilite brand in North America.
This is the first time in Nutrilite’s 76-year history that we’ve enlisted a National Football League player to endorse our health brand. He’s excited, too, to help us educate people on the benefits of good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
As part of the sponsorship Amway is donating $50,000 to First Things First, a foundation Kurt and his wife Brenda established to reach out to the community and share resources with people in need.
Because we believe in helping people live better lives, too.
On November 18 a visit by the Chinese gymnastics team caused an unprecedented sensation at the Amway China plant in Guangzhou. Fans packed a meeting area to see these sports stars, who have been spokespersons for our Nutrilite brand since 2009.
This was the first time the champions visited Amway China, where they were greeted by Amway employees, Amway sales representatives and middle school students sponsored by Amway China.
It’s quite understandable why the team was so warmly welcomed. In the 2010 Asian Games this month, they won 13 events in the artistic gymnastics competition and medaled in eight others.
After the meeting, the team visited the Amway and Nutrilite Experience Centers and the Nutrilite production lines, so they could better understand Amway’s history and culture and how our products are manufactured.
Amway Japan is decking the halls of its Tokyo headquarters with ribbons of orange this holiday season.
Amway Japan is a supporter of the National Network for Child Abuse Prevention orange ribbon campaign to end child abuse. The orange ribbons signify hope and a bright future for all children.
In November Amway Japan customers, distributors and employees created orange ribbon ornaments to decorate holiday trees. For every ribbon used in the display, Amway donated 10 yen to a shelter for abused children.
As a sign at the display proclaims, it’s a way to create a Merry Christmas for all children this holiday season.
Fireworks, a parade and musical talent — our 4th of July celebration has it all!
