Fundraising… New Ways to Raise Funds and Stay Healthy
Dallas, TX (PRWeb) March 9, 2007 -- Fund raising is an important part of any organization or church. Unfortunately, pizza, cookies and cakes are NOT the healthiest choices. Obesity, heart disease, strokes and diabetes are on the rise and the last thing people need to be purchasing and eating are foods made from refined sugars and flour - even if it's for a good cause.
The founders of NatraTech Nutrition began offering their NatraLean Health Bars as a fund raising project at their church in Carrollton, Texas. Their goal was to help support the youth missions team by providing a healthy fundraising alternative.
The idea to offer the NatraLean Health Bars began when the owners of NatraTech Nutrition, Dr. Len Lopez and Joe Perry were discussing an upcoming mission trip for Mr. Perry's son. It was like a light when off, according to Mr. Perry, when he realized NatraTech could offer some healthier alternatives to its church members.
The NatraLean Health Bars are a healthy option for churches, schools or any organization trying to raise funds, "The NatraLean Health Bars are one of the healthiest bars you will ever see on the market," states Dr. Lopez. "It is an excellent meal replacement for anyone concerned about their weight, blood sugar or cravings."
Most health bars are nothing but 'glorified candy bars' with additional protein added, according to Dr. Lopez. The NatraLean Health Bars are low glycemic, hypo-allergenic and contain 7 grams of the good mono-unsaturated fats and 8 grams of fiber. They do NOT contain dairy, wheat, corn, soy, peanuts, MSG, trans fats or artificial sweeteners, which often times upset peoples stomach. Best of all according to Dr. Lopez, "they taste great and are an ideal snack for kids of all ages."
The benefits of the fundraising campaign can be an ongoing event. NatraTech Nutrition gives a percentage of sales of their NatraLean health bars back to the church or organization. Additionally, they will also continue to give a percentage of sales from all of their other products as well. Mr. Perry and Dr. Lopez are excited about helping worthwhile projects.
Dr. Lopez, is the author of "To Burn or Not to Burn, Fat is the Question." Several of the NatraTech products work well with the concepts set forth in his book. The company has also formulated several nutritional products and wellness programs that have been well received and endorsed, including their Quick Start Weight Loss Program and AM-PM Stress Recovery Program.
Their company is in its infancy, but their products are based on two things - keeping you healthy and restoring your health. If you're concerned about the health of your church or organization and are looking to raise funds, you now have a healthy option with NatraTech Nutrition and their NatraLean Health Bars.
