| GREENSBORO, N.C. (Aug. 1, 2006) – Joey Cheek, gold-medal Olympic speed skater, will become the next champion to appear on Market America’s Isotonix® Champion Blend. The new product partnership will be announced by Market America at its annual 2006 International Convention, to take place August 3-6, 2006, at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. Cheek became America’s first multiple medal winner in the 2006 Winter Games held in Torino, Italy by taking the gold in the 500 meter and silver in the 1000 meter. In honor of Cheek and his accomplishments, Market America will donate to Right to Play, a portion of all sales of Champion Blend and Isotonix Might-A-Mins®, a children’s multivitamin. Right to Play is an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sports and play as a tool for the development of children and youth in the most disadvantaged areas of the world. After winning his medals Cheek gave his entire $40,000 medal bonus to Right to Play and continues to help the organization. On Friday, August 4, Market America founders JR and Loren Ridinger will introduce Cheek and the new products live on-stage, in front of a capacity audience of 20,000 distributors, in attendance from the U.S., Canada, Australia and Taiwan, over the four days. “Isotonix Champion Blend is an amazing product that has helped other world-class athletes compete at high levels,” said Cheek. “I’m proud to be associated with this product and Market America. I have been blessed with an athletic gift that has helped me make a difference for so many people around the world. Market America’s willingness to donate a portion of the sales of Champion Blend and Isotonix Might-A-Mins will help continue the mission of Right to Play all over the world.” The Isotonix Champion Blend is a 15-day supply of six different Isotonix products: OPC-3, ORAC, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-12, Mineral Blast and MultiTech.
