Here’s some details, straight from the press release:
"ArrowBar," the newly-launched gluten free energy bar, announced that it will donate $1 per box of ArrowBars sold directly on its website to the charities of ArrowBar ambassadors James Blake and John Isner as well as actor and model Boris Kodjoe.
Donations will go to The James Blake Foundation (www.jamesblaketennis.com) which is dedicated to investing seed money into cancer research, the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (www.unclineberger.org), a cancer research and treatment center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the name of Isner, and to Sophie's Voice (www.sophiesvoice.net), which works to promote awareness and prevention of spina bifida in the name of Kodjoe.
"The founding of ArrowBar was all about giving back and helping people through proper nutrition,” said Mark Arrowsmith, co-founding partner of ArrowBar. “Supporting these charities is a natural part of this process."
The bar is backed by several American tennis stars, former and present. Isner and Blake, as well as 2016 Olympic men's doubles bronze medallist Steve Johnson and 17-year ATP touring pro Michael Russell, serve as ArrowBar ambassadors.
The ArrowBar name comes from founding partner Mark Arrowsmith, a former University of Miami tennis player who is now the Director of Tennis at the Eagle Landing Country Club in Orange Park, Florida just outside of Jacksonville where he also runs an annual $10,000 USTA Pro Circuit men’s Futures-level professional tennis tournament.
“As a former player and coach, I was always aware of the lack of options for athletes who wanted long lasting energy without chalky aftertastes or having to choke down something that didn’t taste good,” Arrowsmith says. “While playing college tennis our options were very limited, and it seemed like the options hadn’t improved much since. That is why we set out to create an energy bar that simply does what it says; provide sustained energy while tasting great. I believe that anyone who demands results from their active lifestyle will love ArrowBars."
