Proceeds from every bottle of Six Star 100% Whey Protein Plus sold at Walmart will go towards Feeding America and the fight against hunger
Knoxville – Six Star Pro Nutrition, a leading maker of scientifically formulated premium supplements, announced today that the brand has once again partnered with Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the country to help provide meals to people facing hunger through the Walmart “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign.
For each specially marked bottle of 100% Whey Protein Plus sold from April 10 to May 8 in Walmart stores, Six Star Pro Nutrition will donate the equivalent of 10 meals* to Feeding America. As a means of amplifying the effort to secure as many meals as possible throughout the campaign, the brand has aligned with a trio of pro football draft prospects including Hendon Hooker from Tennessee, Nolan Smith from Georgia and Drew Sanders from Arkansas.
Hooker led a resurgent Tennessee football team to an 11-win season in 2022, tied for second most in school history, including a memorable victory over Alabama, the first for the school in more than a decade.
He threw for 3,135 yards, 27 touchdowns and was named conference offensive player of the year, ultimately finishing fifth in Heisman Trophy voting.
“When we work together to fight hunger, we help make our communities stronger and create real and lasting change,” Hooker said. “That’s why I am excited and honored to team up with Six Star Pro Nutrition to promote their Feeding America campaign at Walmart this month.”
“Nutrition is a first step for many athletes and with all that is happening in our world right now, many struggle to figure out where their next meal is coming from,” said Tim Toll, Chief Executive Officer at Iovate Health Sciences International Inc., the maker of the Six Star Pro Nutrition brand. “It is the ambition of the Six Star brand to help provide as many meals as possible to people facing hunger and it is a cause championed by every employee and athlete in the Six Star family, including some at the very top of their profession.”
Feeding America supports critical work that aims to reduce barriers and increase access to food assistance for people facing hunger. The Feeding America nationwide network of 200 food banks and 60,000 pantries and meal programs works hard every day to help people who face hunger, especially as food prices and supply chain disruptions impact household budgets.
