VANCOUVER, BC - As part of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Grad Program, SPARKMOUTH Drinks Co. has delivered more than 900 complimentary cases of sparkling water to secondary schools in the Lower Mainland.

"At SPARKMOUTH, we wanted to recognize and honour the grads during a time that should have been a very special day," said Jackie Fox, vice present of sales and marketing. "We recognize that this year's grads aren't able to celebrate in the way they should be able to with family and friends and we wanted to put a small SPARK into their graduation day."

SPARKMOUTH Drinks Co. is a Vancouver, BC company that launched sparkling waters into the market 10 months ago. They are a company dedicated to providing healthier options for consumers as well as supporting communities through various initiatives and programs. They currently offer four flavours of unsweetened flavoured sparkling waters in lemon, lime, grapefruit and strawberry, all with zero sugars, zero sodium and zero calories. They are currently available at London Drugs, Safeway, Thrifty Foods and many other retailers.

"In what has been a challenging end to the year, Argyle's grads were grateful for their special grad boxes that included sparkling water from SPARKMOUTH," noted Kim Jonat, principal at Argyle Secondary School. "Donations such as this are providing some much-needed perks and are a reminder to our grads that their community cares."

Whitecaps FC have been helping celebrate the Class of 2020 throughout the month of June, including a congratulations graphic on display at the big screen at Terry Fox Plaza, player video messages to schools, and digital content in the upcoming week to help make their graduation memorable. BMO are also honouring 10 deserving students with a $1,000 RESP award for exceptional support for their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We know that this has been a challenging year, and not an easy time to be graduating from secondary school," said Axel Schuster, Whitecaps FC chief executive officer and sporting director. "We are thrilled to see our partners at SPARKMOUTH step up, provide this service to schools in our communities, and to help make celebrations more special."
