Coinciding with the 20% school give-backs, the Jamba Juice mascot, Bananaman, will be road-tripping across the country in his Jamba Bananavan--making guest appearances at schools and local events, encouraging communities to show their support of schools by sippin' on Jamba Juice smoothies. Passing out school flyers, smoothies, coupons and Summer-hire applications (Jamba has approximately 4,000 positions to fill!), Bananaman will represent healthy, happy fun everywhere he goes--he may even challenge you to a dance-off!

"Jamba Juice has been an avid supporter of school fundraising for years," said James White, CEO at Jamba Juice. "The School Bananananza '09 is Jamba's way of involving schools across the country, with the goal to raise dollars for programs where funds may be lacking. We work hard to promote a healthy, active, give-back to the community lifestyle, and that's what the Bananananza is really all about."
