Denver, CO - 
(NewMediaWire) - August 24, 2021 - DEFY, a leader in premium performance beverages and wellness products, today announces the launch of DEFY Water in Kroger stores throughout the Dallas and Houston metropolitan areas. DEFY Water is an ionized alkaline pH 9.5+ water infused with vital electrolytes and minerals such as calcium and magnesium that is optimized for premium taste and supercharged cellular hydration.
DEFY is celebrating this launch with evening events at Kroger stores in Dallas on August 24 and 25 and in Houston on August 26 and 27. Shoppers and active customers in attendance can expect to meet the DEFY team, enjoy music provided by local radio stations on-site, and participate in raffles and giveaways.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Denver Bronco Terrell Davis, who is also a Co-Founder of DEFY, will be at all of these events talking about the new product as well as DEFY’s mission to give back to non-profit organizations that support underserved communities. Davis will be offering signed memorabilia to anyone who buys one or more cases of DEFY water from the Kroger locations during the events.
“Everything is bigger in Texas and the same goes for DEFY’s launch into two of Texas’s largest cities,” said DEFY Co-Founder Terrell Davis. “DEFY is proud to hold some of the same values as customers here in the Lone Star State, supporting the veterans who helped protect our country, and we look forward to connecting with them in person at our events.”
DEFY will donate 3% of proceeds from every bottle of DEFY Water sold from August 2021 – May 2022 to be evenly distributed to DAV (Disabled American Veterans), the Center for African American Health and the Association of Women Business Owners.
“There is a real calling for brands in the U.S. to step up and support the men and women who risked their lives for our freedom,” said U.S. Navy SEAL and DEFY COO Eric Frohardt. “Not only do we hope to be able to respond to that by giving back to them with continuous donations but we also hope that our products help veterans everywhere stay active and healthy.”
“We thank DEFY for supporting veterans, military members, and their families,” said Marc Burgess, CEO of DAV. “Our partnership with DEFY will help us provide even more no-cost services to veterans and empower them to live their fullest lives.”
Frohardt will be attending these events to talk about DEFY’s efforts to help veterans as well as the overall need for veteran assistance. Attendees can stop to meet Frohardt and take a photo with him as well.
