Dear Friend,

Last Saturday was one of those all around great days. The sun was shining, the cherry blossoms were out and I saw a group of people wearing Athena wristbands and carrying Athena water! How wonderful to celebrate life and see others in our community helping to raise awareness and funds that support local research to find a cure for women's cancers.

Thanks to you -- our customers and our wholesale and retail partners -- we've now sold over 2 million bottles of Athena water and 200,000 Athena wristbands, enabling us to donate $90,000 to cancer research in 2004.

We are still getting lots of inquiries from people looking for our wristbands at retail stores. That's why I'm excited to tell you that Bartell Drug Stores are now selling Athena wristbands in their 53 stores throughout Western Washington.

Just in time for Spring and Mother's Day. (If you buy two 6-packs of Athena water, you'll get a wristband FREE!).

Please help us continue to raise funds for women's cancer research by visiting the Bartell's near you and telling others. Every wristband and bottle of water brings us one step closer to a cure!
