MIAMI, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- BAWLS Guarana, the Official Energy Drink of the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL), announced a new sponsorship deal with pro paintball team Miami Rage for the remaining 2006 NPPL Super 7 World Series tournaments in San Diego and Los Angeles. The announcement marks BAWLS' first-ever pro team sponsorship. Miami Rage members will sport the BAWLS logo on their equipment and rely on the refreshing, caffeine-packed taste of BAWLS Guarana to stay energized on their way to another NPPL victory.
Already a long-time sponsor of amateur paintball, BAWLS Guarana approached Miami Rage for their first ever pro sponsorship. CEO Hoby Buppert believes the Miami Rage is the perfect team to represent his brand. "As a Miami-based company, we are thrilled to sponsor our hometown team -- the Rage is a great group of athletes that are as passionate about the sport as we are," commented Buppert. "Miami paintball is in the house!"
Miami Rage is one of the NPPL's most victorious teams, hot off a huge win at the NPPL Boston Open at Gillette Stadium and now ranked third in the world. Founded in 1993, Miami Rage is also popular among paintball fans -- thousands gather to watch them compete at NPPL Super 7 tournaments and the team's signature "305" jersey is the highest-selling in the world.
BAWLS is the brainchild of entrepreneur Hoby Buppert, CEO of Hobarama, LLC. Widely distributed to local supermarkets, convenience stores (7-Eleven), Target Superstores, CompUSA stores and gaming venues, BAWLS is a premium, non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage made from the guarana berry harvested in the Amazonian Rainforest. The caffeine found in BAWLS Guarana contains the same amount of caffeine as coffee and nearly three times that of traditional sodas due to a naturally occurring form of the stimulant found in the guarana berry.
