Congratulations and welcome to the 2011 Team Odwalla sponsored athlete team.
You are now one of two hundred individuals concentrated in California, New York

shares your passion for athletics and community service. Based on your athletic
accomplishments and sphere of influence, we are very proud that you will be
representing Team Odwalla in 2011.
As a Team Odwalla member, we look forward to hearing about your results and
accomplishments and encourage you to share your successes with us. We love
receiving photos of team members wearing their apparel while training, competing at
races and out in the community, so please send LOTS of pictures and share your
stories in your monthly communications with us.
Now that the sponsorship has officially begun, take some time to review the contents
of your Welcome Manual. This will be your go-to-resource for everything regarding
the sponsorship. Inside you’ll find valuable information pertaining to brand/product

one testimonial throughout the season.
As an official sponsored athlete you will receive a monthly eNewsletter providing

TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL

Overall Team Goals:
We call it “Team Odwalla” for a reason. As a unit, we’ll strive to increase awareness
of Odwalla’s delicious products by sharing Odwalla’s story with the endurance

The success of the 2011 Team Odwalla program depends entirely on open
communication between our sponsored athletes and the Team management. We

Increase sales at local retailers with coupon redemption and drive to retail
Maintain an awesome team website with current photography and team
information
Individual Requirements:
In order to reach the team goals, each athlete must meet their individual
requirements. I trust many, if not all of you, will far exceed them.
Attend One Mandatory training call

Participate in at least 1 volunteer/charity/fundraising event of your choice

TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL
REQUIREMENTS
Race Recaps:
As a Team Odwalla Athlete you are required to complete at least three (3)
endurance events before December 15th, 2011. After each race, you’ll need to
submit a recap form, which houses valuable feedback. Of course, we want to know
how well you did, how great you felt and how the team apparel helped your
performance. But we also want to hear any feedback you received from the crowd
regarding the Odwalla brand and its products.
You’re the eyes, ears and face of this program. Let us know what people say about
Odwalla’s products, packaging and environmental initiatives. Each week, we’ll
compile the team’s comments and send it to Odwalla to implement into their
marketing strategies. Your opinions and experiences will make a difference.
You can access the reporting links through the team website (keep reading!).
We encourage you to submit your recap within 48 hours of the event so the details
are fresh in your mind, although it’s hard to forget cheers like “Go Odwalla Go!!”
We also urge you to share your race calendar with teammates so they have the
opportunity to join you at the start and/or finish line. Races are usually more fun
when you have a running buddy somewhere along the course.
Lastly, we recommend you use Internet Explorer as your browser and prepare your
answers and photos ahead of time to avoid “timing out” when you submit your recap.
Sample Recap Questions:
1. Race Details: (Name, Type, Location, Distance, # of Participants)
2. Your Performance: (Overall Finish, Odwalla Feedback, # of Giveaways)
3. Photos: (Of You In Action, In Your Apparel, At the Start Line, With Friends)

TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product Sampling:
As a member of Team Odwalla, you have the chance to distribute product samples
and coupons to your athletic and social networks in your local community. These
bars are meant for personal use as well as distribution at local races, training
sessions, gym and at community events. You’ll be receiving (3) product shipments
throughout the season. Please read the following guidelines below to help you
choose the best way to distribute your allocated samples.
What we’re looking for:
- Sampling opportunities that provide one (1) on one (1) interaction
between yourself and other athletes.
- Creative ways that you are able to interact with athletes and support
Odwalla.
- Distribute product samples to athletes and peers in your community.
- Photos showing the distribution of samples
Product Sampling Report Requirement:
After you have completed your product sampling activity, we recommend you submit
a Product Sampling Report back to team management. This is a great way to share
the authentic feedback you received.
Remember, you are the eyes, ears and face of the program. The feedback you
provide is invaluable. Each week, we’ll compile the team’s comments and send it to
Odwalla to implement into their marketing strategies. Let people know their opinions
and experiences will be heard.
We recommend you use Internet Explorer as your browser and prepare your
answers and photos ahead of time to avoid “timing out” when you submit your recap.
Sample Recap Questions:
1. Event Details: (Date, Location, # of Samples, # of Participants and Summary)
2. Odwalla Feedback (Comments, Questions, Concerns and Reactions)
3. Photos: (Of You, Of the Participants, Of the Location, Of the Samples)
Also be sure to let us know if your event received any media attention (see media
incentives and prizing section.)

TEAM GOALS & INDIVIDUAL
REQUIREMENTS
Volunteer & Charity Fundraising:
Each Team Odwalla member must complete at least one volunteer and/or charity
fundraising activity before December 15th, 2011 by selecting one of the three
methods listed below:
1. Volunteer for a Charitable Organization’s Activity
2. Compete in a Race for a Charitable Organization
3. Volunteer at a Race for a Charitable Organization
You are welcome to select and support any organization you please. We just want to
see you follow Odwalla’s lead and give back to the community. We want to see lots
of photos from your event, which will be even better if you can wear your branded
Odwalla gear. If not, no worries. You will need to submit a recap for your event so
pay close attention to the event name, date, location and beneficiaries.
If you experience difficulty finding suitable activities in your area or have questions
regarding this portion of the program please email us at
[email protected]
Social Media:
In an effort to raise general awareness of Odwalla products, we are asking Team
Odwalla athletes to help drive people toward Odwalla’s home page, Facebook page
and Twitter account.
You’re already out there racing, sampling and spreading the word in person. So why
not share your story online? Post some photos on the team Facebook page and
encourage your teammates to join you at a local race. Invite your friends and family
to become fans online to follow your team’s activities. Post an Odwalla link on your
personal page so your friends and family can check out the company that’s become
so integral to your racing life.
We will offer generous incentives throughout the season to encourage and track
your social media efforts. Think fame and fortune by way of featured athlete profiles
and monetary rewards.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography Tips:
Team Odwalla photos are paramount to the success of the program. Photos
showcase your activities, highlight your achievements and provide exciting new
website content. Let’s start developing good habits right away.
1. Share your experience: Photos say more than
words. If you win an award pose on the podium
or with your prize. If you meet a teammate or
group of people take a picture with them by
your side. Show us the weather, scenery,
crowds, anything to help us get in the moment
with you.
2. Sport your apparel: We want to see you
rocking your gear. It’s the best way for people
learn you’re on the team. Wear it with pride on
and off the race course.
3. Showcase the product: Smiles are great. But
nothing goes better with a group photo than a
clear shot of the product. We want to see
people enjoying the samples or coupons. It’s
even better if you can be in the shot decked out
in your branded apparel.
4. Send us a link: Cameras break, malfunction
and get left behind. Luckily, most races are crawling with paparazzi. If you
can’t capture any race images, please include in your recap the link to the
race or photographer website. Race photos are expensive, but if we like one
enough we’ll buy it and send you a copy.

ABOUT ODWALLA
More Cool Stuff About Odwalla:
Odwalla Brand History
Odwalla began with three friends, a few boxes of oranges, and a simple vision: make great
juice, do good things for the community, and build a business with heart. Today, 30 years
later, Odwalla is still doing just that – adding nutritional bars to its repertoire – and striving to
nourish the rest of the world as much as it nourishes individuals.
Tapping music as the inspiration, the company’s playful name was born from a favorite
musical piece performed by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. In that special song-poem,
Odwalla was a leader who guided “the people of the sun” out of the “gray haze” – just as the
company’s delicious products help humans break free from the dull mass of over-processed
foods so prevalent today.
Freshology™ is a very special term coined by Odwalla. It describes the company’s
understanding that great fruit makes great juice. That’s why they use the finest, freshest,
juiciest fruit they can find. Throughout the seasons, they “follow the fruit.” As different
varieties ripen across the country, they choose only high-quality fruit from high-quality
growers to ensure that every Odwalla is a tasty treat that nourishes your body, mind and
spirit.
More information on all of Odwalla’s products can be found at www.Odwalla.com.

ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
Odwalla Environmental Initiatives:
For almost 30 years, Odwalla has been a leader in environmental sustainability. For us, it’s
not about the trends or the times. It’s just who we are.
Odwalla’s mission is to nourish people everywhere and adhere to its guiding principle of
respect for consumers who rely on them for great-tasting, nourishing beverages and bars,
and respect for the earth on which we all rely for holistic nourishment. Odwalla simply
wouldn’t be Odwalla without taking care of Mother Earth and giving back to the communities
that have given so much. Following are just a few of the ways Odwalla is doing just that.
Soil To Soul: Odwalla has helped plant 360,000 trees in U.S. State Parks between
2008 and 2010. Odwalla also has made multi-year donations to the Organic Farming
Research Foundation and Conservation International, and Odwalla’s plant and 45
distribution centers make numerous donations to local organizations in communities
all across the USA.
People To Planet: For more than 10 years, Odwalla has permitted a local farmer to
use 20 acres of Odwalla land free of charge in order to grow and maintain a peach
orchard.
Waste Not: Of the 143 million pounds of citrus that comes into the Odwalla plant in
Dinuba, California 0%, goes into a landfill. The only items that leave the plant for the
landfill is trash that cannot be recycled – typically less than 1%. Plastic and
cardboard are baled and sent to be recycled. Odwalla bottles are HDPE and
recyclable (cap too!). Approximately 10% of an Odwalla bottle is composed of virgin
re-grind material to reduce waste.
Green Energy: Odwalla purchases Green Energy units from the utility company.
Green Energy – derived from sources like wind, solar and geothermal systems, is
more expensive than that derived from fossil fuels. Although this Green Energy might
cost more, Odwalla thinks it’s worth it in order to encourage further development of
green energy sources. Plus, the boiler used in Odwalla’s Dinuba plant is extremely
efficient and actually earns NOX credits that could be sold. However, Odwalla
doesn’t sell these credits because they want to foster a community where everyone
is encouraged to change how their energy is generated.
Conservation: Odwalla uses a $1.8 million anaerobic digestion system on waste
water resulting from the juicing process. The end result is that over 99% of the bio
burden (waste biological material) is reduced – eliminating waste by-products that
city systems do not have to treat and that do not negatively impact the environment.

PLANT A TREE
Plant a Tree Program Information:
The Odwalla Plant a Tree program is a partnership with state parks across the country to
support Mother Earth and help with reforestation efforts. The Odwalla Plant a Tree program
allows the company to support an initiative that helps maintain a healthy environment for
generations to come. It’s part of Odwalla’s continuing commitment to nourish the body, mind
and spirit.
Since the program’s inception in 2008, Odwalla has donated 360,000 trees to state park
systems throughout the United States. Through this unique program, people are
encouraged to visit www. Odwalla.com and choose one of the park systems where they
want a tree planted.
We’ll definitely want your help in spreading the word and getting involved, and we’ll be sure
to share program information and details on how you can make a difference as soon as they
are available.
