TO PARTICIPATE IN ‘WALK FOR THE MISSION’ DOWNTOWN
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 7, 2007 – The RelìvKalogris Foundation, the charitable arm of RelìvInternational, Inc., a Chesterfield-based maker of soy-based nutritional supplements, is hosting a one-mile walk/5K run on Aug. 11 to raise money for people in need in the United States and seven other countries. More than 3,000 participants are expected to turn out.
The event, called the Walk for the Mission, will raise an estimated $90,000 to $100,000 for the RelìvFoundation. RelìvInternational will match up to $50,000 raised by its worldwide distributors.
“The mission of RelìvInternational and the RelìvKalogris Foundation is to “nourish our world,” and this event fits the mission perfectly,” said R. Scott Montgomery, chairman of the RelìvFoundation. “The funds will buy nutritional supplements for thousands of people internationally. For many of them, these supplements are the only nutritional intake they’ll have in a typical day,” he added.
The walk/run event will take place Saturday, Aug. 11, beginning at 6:45 a.m. From 6:30 to 9:00 a.m., the following downtown streets will close for the event: Seventh Street from Washington Ave. to Market Street, and Market to 23rd St.
The RelìvFoundation provides free nutritional supplements to nearly 25,000 people every day. Since its founding, the Foundation has donated supplements to people in need in more than 15 countries.
The Walk for the Mission is part of Reliv’s International Conference, being held Aug. 9-11 at America’s Center. Relìvdistributors from more than 10 countries are expected to take part in the event.
