Bios Life Franchise Owners and Unicity’s Make Life Better Foundation Donate $40,000 to the Florida Children’s Hospital

Money may not grow on trees, but at the 2007 Unicity Convention of the Americas in Orlando, Florida, it grew right on stage. Brea Barnes, Director of Development at Florida Children’s Hospital witnessed first-hand as a $6,000 donation from Unicity’s Make Life Better Foundation blossomed into a $40,000 contribution in just a matter of minutes.

For the past three days while attending the Convention, Bios Life Franchise Owners had participated in several fund-raising events for the Florida Children’s Hospital—an Orlando-based children’s hospital which provides care for more than 100,000 families and their children every year.

From playing Plinko, bidding on great items at a Silent Auction (all items were donated by vendors, including an impressive bag-full of items from Nike), to the fund raiser finale—a 5K Run/Walk on Saturday morning—Bios Life Franchise Owners and Unicity were anxious to participate in donating and raising funds for this year’s cause.

But all of these activities were no match for what happened Saturday afternoon at the final general session of the Convention.

Polite applause greeted Stewart Hughes, Chairman and CEO of Unicity and Curt Hedges, Unicity President, as they presented Brea Barnes with a $6,000 check—the funds raised that week at the Convention.

However, Stewart and Curt are rarely satisfied with first efforts—especially when they know that people are able to do so much better. Stewart paused in the middle of the check presentation and made an impromptu challenge to the Presidential Diamond rank Franchise Owners to contribute another $4,000—and if they’d do that, Unicity would add $10,000 in order to make a total donation of $20,000 to the Florida Children’s Hospital.

Presidential Diamonds become diamonds by not shrinking in the face of challenges and they rose to the occasion. However, as pledges were being made, Stewart raised the bar again and challenged the Franchise Owners to donate $15,000 and Unicity would match that with $15,000 for a total of $30,000. Curt began to tally the total contributions right on the large donation check.

Then Stewart pulled out all the stops and announced that if the Diamonds could raise $20,000, then Unicity would match the contribution with $20,000 for an impressive grand total donation of $40,000!

In just a matter of minutes a $6,000 contribution grew to an outstanding $40,000 donation. An astonished and appreciative Brea said, “This is the best math I have ever seen!”

The Florida Children’s Hospital has expressed their deep gratitude and has announced that they plan to name a room after Unicity in the upcoming new wing of the hospital.

On behalf of the Florida Children’s Hospital, the Unicity Make Life Better Foundation would like to express a special thanks and appreciation to the Diamonds that accepted the challenge and contributed to this special cause:

Featured Product of the Month: Cardio Essentials™
Good Health Starts with Heart Health
Proper nutrition for your heart has never been easier.

Like any muscle, your heart grows stronger with exercise and proper nutrition. Unfortunately, most modern diets lack the essential nutrients your heart needs to remain effective day after day. If you’ve been experiencing shortness of breath, tiredness, fatigue, or an increased heart rate, your heart may be nutritionally starved and exhausted.

Because your heart uses so much energy it needs the right nutrients in the right amounts everyday so it can keep working for you complaint free—which is exactly why we developed Cardio Essentials™, a proprietary blend of ingredients which support healthy heart function, blood flow, and nourishes heart tissue. 

What Makes Cardio Essentials so Effective?
Cardio Essentials contains several ingredients that represent scientific advances in heart health. However, our bodies can only use these elements efficiently when taken in the right amounts. For instance, although studies demonstrate that CoQ 10 is effective at daily intakes of 100 mg, most supplements contain only small amounts.
Cardio Essentials contains a full 100 mg of CoQ 10, in addition to effective amounts of L-carnitine, L-taurine, and hawthorn.

Super-Charge Your Workout
Cardio Essentials provides the most effective heart strengthening ingredients, in the proper amounts, in one proprietary formula. These ingredients not only help with strengthening the heart muscle but also increase its recovery from exertion. When taken with regular aerobic exercise it can super-charge the effects of your workout.

What’s Inside Cardio Essentials?
This powerful, proprietary formula supports healthy heart function, blood flow, and heart tissue.

Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10) plays an important role in the production of energy within each cell of the human body. CoQ10 also plays a critical role in the respiratory chain. This biochemical process occurs in the mitochondria, also known as the power-plants of the cell—converting oxygen and fuel to energy. CoQ10 serves as an essential carrier of electrons in this process. The heart muscle is very dependent on this process for its adequate energy production.

Users of statins have a need for extra supplementation, because statins deplete the body of CoQ10.

Taurine
is an amino acid that is abundantly present in the heart muscle. Studies have shown that people with congestive heart failure benefit from taurine supplementation, because it alters calcium transport in the heart muscle, which is beneficial for the contraction mechanism.

Carnithine is an amino acid that serves as a key to open the walls of the mitochondria to let free fatty acids in. These Fatty acids serve as fuel for the power plants of the heart muscle cells.

Hawthorn Berries have a long history in heart health. Hawthorn increases the force of contraction of the heart muscle, and thereby the coronary blood flow, and cardiac output. Also, hawthorn has antiarrhythmic activity

Cardio Essentials is Listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference
Cardio Essentials is one of the Unicity products listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR). The PDR is the nation’s most trusted source of FDA-approved prescribing information, and is consulted by healthcare professionals millions of times each week. The PDR is distributed to almost half a million MDs and chief pharmacists throughout the US. In fact, ninety percent of healthcare professionals consider this reference the most important source of reliable information and it helps it helps them advise their patients which products they should use.
