VIVESANA TO BE THE EXCLUSIVE SUNSCREEN PROVIDER FOR THE 61st ANNUAL ARTISTS vs WRITERS CHARITY SOFTBALL GAME

June 19, 2009 (East Hampton, NY)

The Artists & Writers 61st Annual Charity Softball Game will take place on August 15th, 2009 in East Hampton, NY. Benefitting 3 local East Hampton non-profits, the players have included celebrities like Christie Brinkley, Bill Clinton, Ed Burns, Matthew Broderick, Chevy Chase, Alec Baldwin and many more.

It started out as a casual softball game in the 1950’s with artists like Jackson Pollack, Willem de Kooning, Norman Bluhm, Esteban Vicente and Syd Solomon. Then in the 1960’s writers like John Irving and Kurt Vonnegut joined, and with that the game changed from being light and fun to serious business, full of rules. Gradually the definition of “artists/writers” was expanded to include people of different talents, as well as celebrities.

Today the East End Hampton Day Care Center, The Retreat and The Hospice all benefit from the funds raised through Sponsorship, Ticket Prices and Donations.

Vivesana will be providing its Natural, Organic Sunscreen for the hot, long day of softball.

Dan Signorelli, the Founder of Vivesana says “We are thrilled to contribute to an event that has long been a local tradition, and has benefited three wonderful charities”

VIVESANA TO PROVIDE SUNSCREEN FOR CAMP GOOD GRIEF

June 22, 2009 (East Hampton, NY)

Vivesana will be the exclusive Sunscreen provider for one of the most unique summer programs in the country, Camp Good Grief. It is a week long summer camp held on Shelter Island, NY for children who have lost a parent.

Camp Good Grief is underwritten by proceeds from the East End Hospice Thrift Shop and by grants and generous donations from the East End Community. There are no fees to participate.

Skilled bereavement staff members plan and lead each day with care, and are assisted by carefully trained volunteers.

“This is not a sad place,” notes Hospice President Priscilla Ruffin. “Fun is mixed in with therapy, and the important thing is that these children learn they are not alone, and other children have gone through similar experiences. . . . At school and at home they are different from the other children. But here, they are the same.”

Dan Signorelli, Vivesana’s founder says “We are very excited to be able to provide our sunscreens to the cause. Healthy, active outdoor play is what childhood is all about, and we’re thrilled and honored to support this wonderful program.”

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vivesana Announces Support of Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation’s 9th Annual Art for Life Gala
February 24, 2009 (Brooklyn, New York,)

Vivesana proudly announced today that it will be participating in Rush Philanthropic Arts
Foundation 9th annual Art for Life Event. The event will be held at the world-renowned
Fontainebleau resort on March 14, 2009.

Founded in 1995 by brothers Russell, Danny and Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons, Rush
Philanthropic Arts Foundation is dedicated to providing disadvantaged urban youth with
significant exposure and access to the arts.

In announcing its support, Vivesana founding member Dan Signorelli said, “While our
charitable giving program’s primary focus is on health, the environment and sustainability,
there is a real crisis in our schools with the underfunding of the arts. We believe that there is
a link between teaching children the value and importance of the arts with their ability to
value and place importance on their environment. While we are not planting literal seeds,
we are planting the seeds of appreciation in the youth of the Miami area.”
Vivesana partners with worthwhile organizations each year, by donating 10 percent of its
profits to organizations that work to positively impact the planet.
