XanGo Becomes An Exclusive Sponsor of Thanksgiving Point Institute

Large-Format Movie Theater to be renamed “XanGo Mammoth Screen – 3D”

LEHI, UT—Jan. 11, 2005—XanGo, LLC, a Utah company offering a patented dietary supplement beverage, XanGo ™, that is marketed through a network of independent distributors, has reached an agreement to become an exclusive corporate sponsor of the Thanksgiving Point Institute, it was announced today. Effective immediately, XanGo will become the exclusive Nutritional Supplement and Personal Care Product sponsor of the non-profit Thanksgiving Point Institute.

According to XanGo President Aaron Garrity, XanGo’s five-year sponsorship will support Thanksgiving Point’s efforts to provide one-of-a-kind, hands-on educational, cultural and recreational opportunities for children and families. Educational venues at the Thanksgiving Point complex include Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Museum of Ancient Life, Farm Country, and the Children’s Discovery Garden.

Since XanGo’s sponsorship will help support the operation of Thanksgiving Point’s large-format movie theater housed in the Museum of Ancient Life located at Thanksgiving Point, it will be renamed the “XanGo Mammoth Screen – 3D.”

“This sponsorship is in keeping with our focus to support effective children’s charities,” said Garrity, “and complements the location of our new, 30-acre corporate campus in the Thanksgiving Point Business and Retail Park.”

Garrity explained that from its inception, XanGo has been committed to helping improve the global community—especially by supporting children in need worldwide. As a result, XanGo donates a portion of every sale to Operation Kids, a Utah-based foundation that supports worthwhile children’s charities that are effective in their operations and efficient with their resources. Charities under the Operation Kids’ umbrella include Operation Smile, The Christmas Box House, The Forever Young Foundation, The National McGruff House Network, Children’s Organ Transplant Association and Best Buddies.

Two-year-old XanGo moved its international headquarters to its new location at Thanksgiving Point in October 2004 after purchasing an existing 60,000-square-foot office building and 25 acres of undeveloped land to accommodate its explosive growth. After beginning with 14 employees in November 2002, the company currently employs approximately 400 employees at its headquarters. XanGo has plans to build two additional office buildings on the site to support its international operations.

“Corporate partnerships such as this are relatively new to Thanksgiving Point,” said Mike Washburn, Thanksgiving Point president and CEO. “We appreciate XanGo’s vision in partnering with us and expect other companies to follow suit. Thanksgiving Point is truly a local treasure and this commitment from XanGo represents a real benefit to the community.
