Langley, BC – February 8, 2010: The eyes of the world will be watching, as the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay continues on its historical journey through Langley to the city of Vancouver.

At the start of 2009, Coca-Cola in participation with the Overwaitea Food Group announced a commitment to the PowerAde Hometown Heroes program; proceeds from sales of participating PowerAde products are being donated to the Canadian Olympic Foundation who ensures all funds are specifically tailored toward athlete success. The amazing support that Overwaitea Food Group stores provided has generated $50,000 for the Canadian Olympic Foundation, and a presentation of the cheque from Coca-Cola will be made at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay stop on February 8th at the Willoughby Save-On-Foods location.
Fun for all:
• Refreshing Coca-Cola beverages will be served at the Save-On-Foods Willoughby store
