- Another great year in Aspen where the world's top athletes competed in Snowboarding, Skiing, Moto and SnoCross. For the second year we were invited to come blend bowls of Acai for the athletes in the Athlete's lounge. Here are a few comments:

"I've been eating acai everyday since the first time I had it here last year!"

"Oh My God, that is so good! I want to drink it straight out of the blender."

"You're stuff is the absolute best, thank you Sambazon!"

Thanks for this great product!" - Wichita Falss, TX

As you probably know Brazil suffers from several social issues and enterprises like yours really make a difference. I would like to congratulate you, and let you know that I sent an e-mail to all friends to help spread the wonderfull initiative you've taken.
