Rem Produces Stand Strong? Energy Drink to Benefit Red, White and You Fundraising EventCountry Artist Collin Raye to Partner with Energy Drink to Raise Military Funds

DENVER, CO (PRWEB) October 05, 2012

REM, a Denver-based company, has been invited by NASCAR Nationwide Series race team ML Motorsports to unveil Stand Strong?, at the inaugural RED, WHITE and YOU fundraising event, benefiting WISH for OUR HEROES and featuring headliner, Collin Raye.

Stand Strong?, a private label energy drink, was created especially to support the fund raising efforts of WISH for OUR HEROES. This event also ties the beverage to the release of country artist Collin Raye?s new single, ?Never Gonna Stand For This,? currently available on iTunes. The event will take place Sunday, October 7th, at Spike?s Beach Bar in Warsaw, Indiana, and will benefit WISH for OUR HEROES and our nation?s military.

?REM is honored to have the opportunity to create this beverage product that supports the vision of Wish for Our Heroes and their mission of aiding America?s military and their families,? said Matuszewski. ?Occasionally, REM is presented with opportunities that rely on creating a beverage product with its own brand identity to serve a specific purpose or fulfill the fundraising needs of a worthy organization such as this.?

Stand Strong? is designed and formulated to unite Americans in the cause to support our nation?s military servicemen and women and their families through WISH for OUR HEROES. All proceeds from the sales of Stand Strong? at this event will be donated to WISH for OUR HEROES.

WISH for OUR HEROES assists families by providing basic needs and building family cohesiveness surrounding deployments. WISH for OUR HEROES has granted over $ 1,000,000 in assistance to over 1100 troops internationally. Through the granting of wishes, WISH for OUR HEROES assists active-duty military struggling with burdens caused by deployment and the daily strains of military life.

On September 11th, Stand Strong?, in conjunction with producer, Glenn Sweitzer of Nashville based ?Fresh Design,? collaborated on the production of a music video at Nashville?s famous NorthStar Studios featuring Collin Raye?s new hit single. The video includes our military?s service men and women, and vignettes of everyday American?s, standing strong together as we get through this perilous time in America?s future. The first ever release of this music video will take place at the RED, WHITE and YOU event.
?A key success factor in the launch of a private label beverage, such as Stand Strong?, is the teaming together with strategic partners who can promote their brands by adding their identity to the beverage packaging,? said Robert Matuszewski, founder and president of REM. ?Two strategic partners of ours are singer, song writer Collin Raye and iTunes.?

Raye recently released a new hit single titled, ?Never Gonna Stand For This,? a patriotic themed song that delivers a message of standing up for American rights and freedoms. In support of the song and the October 7th fundraising event, the Stand Strong? beverage can design features lyrics from Raye?s song as a design base and background for the Stand Strong? USA logo.
