Capsalus Brings NFL Hall of Famer Dan Marino to Partner with Wish Upon A Hero as International Spokesperson
ATLANTA - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Capsalus Corp. (OTCBB:WELL)
announces that it has signed NFL legend, entrepreneur and philanthropist
Dan Marino to serve as international spokesperson for one of its
partner companies Wish
Upon A Hero (WUAH), the world's largest online social helping
network. Connecting people in need with those who want to help, www.wishuponahero.com
has granted more than 70,000 wishes since launching in 2007. Capsalus
placed a significant investment in WUAH last fall.
As WUAH's spokesperson, Marino will serve as the inspirational leader
for the Wish Ambassador network - a community of volunteers on the
ground in cities across America who can be mobilized in times of
emergency or community need, to reach out to local "heroes" to help
those in need. Marino will also host future television programming for
WUAH, including the soon-to-be-launched online Hero-TV channel.
Bringing Marino on board was a key objective of WUAH's ambitious growth
plan, which Capsalus helps execute. Beyond its financial stake in the
company, Capsalus provides strategic stewardship to optimize reach and
overall business performance.
"Given Dan's global appeal, coupled with his understanding of and
appreciation for improving quality of health, which he has so clearly
demonstrated through his work with The Dan Marino Foundation, the
executive teams of both Capsalus and Wish Upon a Hero saw him as a
tremendous asset in our collective efforts to grow this enterprise,"
said Kevin P. Quirk, CEO of Capsalus, which invests in or acquires
innovative niche companies with high-yield potential, such as WUAH, in
the health, wellness and goodness space. "Drawing on our network of
contacts, we achieved what WUAH is all about - making the perfect match."
"Dan Marino is the prototypical American hero, and we are excited and
honored to have him join our WUAH team as spokesperson," added Dave
Girgenti, founder of WUAH. "Dan has not only excelled on the football
field, but has made philanthropy his life's work. He is truly one of the
good guys - and will so effectively spread the good news about the power
of WUAH."
