The Shannon Miller Foundation Raises over $12,500 for Childhood Obesity!!

The Shannon Miller foundation has exceeded its goal of $10,000 in its first fundraising effort! The Shannon Miller Foundation has partnered with Nikken (wellness products) to raise funds to fight childhood obesity. Portions from the first sales of the NIKKEN Magnetic Sport Bracelet “Shannon Miller Special Edition” have produced over $12,500 thus far in donations to the Shannon Miller Foundation fight against childhood obesity!

Good looks for a good cause. Nikken TriPhase Technology and Sport Bracelet versatility combine with beautiful 24k gold accents in a design personally selected and approved by seven-time Olympic Medal winner Shannon Miller — the most decorated American gymnast in history. Your purchase of this Special Edition bracelet includes a donation to the Shannon Miller Foundation.

The Nikken TriPhase Sport Bracelet incorporates Nikken Magnetic Technology, Far-Infrared Technology and Negative-Ion Technology within its core. The porous, permeable outer material “breathes” instead of acting as a barrier. Yet it’s strong enough to stand up to serious athletic activity. The pliable silicone is self-shaping to conform to your wrist. It’s so light; you won’t know you have it on — a plus for athletes who don’t want their golf or tennis swing affected by added weight. The neat magnetic clasp holds securely, but separates easily, eliminating any need to tug or stretch while putting it on or taking it off. The style and color are equally attractive on men and women. Nikken is donating a portion of sales of this bracelet to the Shannon Miller Foundation for education and prevention of childhood obesity. Get your bracelet today!
