SECAUCUS, N.J., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Vitamin Shoppe, an omnichannel specialty retailer of nutritional products, today announced its support and lead sponsorship of Team Red White & Blue's (Team RWB) "WOD for Warriors," a day of functional fitness on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022.

The WOD (Workout of the Day) sees thousands of veterans and their supporters complete a series of burpee box jumps, mountain climbers, and other exercises on Veterans Day, with sets and reps that symbolize and honor the men and women who have served our country. Participants can tackle the WOD either as an individual or with one of over 100 official host gyms across the country.

The annual event also supports Team RWB's vision to forge America's leading health and wellness community for veterans by offering real-life and virtual opportunities to build a healthier lifestyle.

The Vitamin Shoppe and its brand partners, including 1^st Phorm, BodyTech, Cellucor/C4, Prime Hydration, and Redcon1, will donate $50,000 to Team RWB as lead sponsors of this year's WOD for Warriors. Through November 11, every purchase of these brands at The Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements stores, as well as on www.vitaminshoppe.com, includes a $1 donation to that total contribution to support Team RWB and our nation's veterans.

Additionally, from November 10 to 13, all veterans will receive a 25 percent discount on their entire purchase at any in-store location of The Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements.

Sharon Leite, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe, commented: "Honoring veterans and supporting military families is a deeply important part of The Vitamin Shoppe's commitment to our communities. Many of our own Health Enthusiast associates are veterans themselves, or have close ties to the military through family and friends, and I want to thank each of them for their service. All of us at The Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements are proud to have supported Team RWB's work over the past years and I look forward to encouraging all of our customers to participate in this year's WOD for Warriors. I also want to thank our incredible brand partners at 1^st Phorm, BodyTech, Cellucor/C4, Prime Hydration, and Redcon1 for being an invaluable part of this campaign."

"All of us at Team RWB are fired up to expand our partnership with The Vitamin Shoppe through WOD for Warriors this year," said Mike Erwin, Executive Director of Team RWB. "The in-store, online, and event-based support The Vitamin Shoppe and its partner brands are offering as part of WOD for Warriors will inspire thousands of veterans and supporters to push themselves and honor those who served."
