TULSA, Okla., April 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Beverage Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:GBVS) announced today through its portfolio company, EON Beverage Group, Inc., that the prestigious Saint John's Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathon, hosted by Robert Wagner, has selected EON Water as the official beverage sponsor for the event.
The 25th Anniversary Jimmy Stewart Marathon benefitting the Saint John's Health Center Foundation is scheduled for Sunday, April 23, 2006 at Los Angeles' Griffith Park and will be hosted by Robert Wagner and Isaiah Washington. EON Beverage Group's devotion to supporting good causes and the product's superior hydration and health benefits, made EON Water the natural choice to be the official beverage sponsor of the event for the second year in a row.
Race Director Rosa Hernandez commented, "We were immediately attracted to EON Water as it has proven to continually support causes which give back to the community. At last year's event, we polled the runners, media and various celebrities in the hospitality pavilion and found that everyone loved the water and appreciated its added health benefits."
"Being the Official Beverage Sponsor for the Jimmy Stewart Marathon is dually important and exciting for EON Beverage Group. Involvement in the high profile event helps to support the Saint John's Health Center Foundation. As a sponsor, the event enhances EON's corporate marketing efforts by providing samples and direct channels of exposure to active individuals, families, celebrities, media and businesses in the Los Angeles community. These sorts of events are socially and economically beneficial opportunities that help to further brand and raise awareness of EON's specialty line of structured water," stated Richard Clark, President of Global Beverage Solutions, Inc.
EON Beverage Group, Inc. has been a corporate sponsor for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at the Rose Bowl, which involved 18,000 participants; NAMIWALK, with 4,000 participants, and Saint John's Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathon in Los Angeles expected to host at least 3,000 runners and more than 2,000 spectators. EON structured water is formed through a proprietary process which alters the molecular structure of purified water. The manufacturing process works to replicate the natural structures found in fruits and vegetables, which facilitates enhanced intra-cellular hydration through significant absorption capabilities.
