What a week for USANA!!!

It started early in the week when Dr. Wentz learned that the University of Utah marching band, which had been invited to perform at next week's Presidential Inauguration, hadn't yet reached its fund-raising goal. Dr. Wentz and USANA stepped in to assure this group of talented musicians would take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We helped them reach their goal and sent them to Washington D.C. with backpacks filled with USANA products to keep them energized during their trip.

On the product side, we're excited that USANA's CoQuinone® 30 received approval by ConsumerLab.com. "ConsumerLab.com is a well-respected organization focused on providing consumers with objective and accurate reviews of the nutritional products available in today's marketplace," said USANA Executive Vice President of Research & Development Tim Wood. "Their approval of CoQuinone® 30 validates USANA's dedication to quality, and underscores our commitment to providing Nutritionals You Can Trust."

USANA also received the Editor's Choice award in the latest edition of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements. Plus, two flagship USANA products were awarded the guide's highest 5-Star Gold Medal rating. The guide is designed to help consumers make informed, scientifically based decisions about nutritional supplements.

USANA made its way onto reality television this week via the Los Angeles-based Beat Freaks dance crew. Rino Razalan, a USANA Ruby Director, and the all-female crew wowed judges during the Season 3 premiere of America's Best Dance Crew. The show airs on MTV on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Check it out and be sure to vote.

And J.B. Ahfua, a 16-year-old Taylorsville resident who performed at the USANA 2008 International Convention, impressed American Idol judges on Tuesday to earn a golden ticket to Hollywood. Awesome job.

Our own chief executive officer, Dave Wentz, added another accolade to his already-sparkling resumé by being named one of America’s Powerful CEOs 40 and Under on Forbes.com.

Finally, Rev3 hit the streets of Salt Lake City as part of the 9th annual X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival. The popular energy drink was a sponsor of "Been There Done That," an extreme wakeboarding short film that opened the festival. It helped kick off our "Where Do You See Rev3" campaign.
