Miami Marlins Debut CLR Roasters Home Game Commercial

Marlins Mascot, Fans Enjoy Team's First Official Cafecito


MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - May 25, 2017) - CLR Roasters' Café La Rica espresso, "The official Cafecito of the Miami Marlins", formally debuted its home game commercial video on the main ballpark jumbotron of the 37,442-seat Marlins Park during the 7th Inning Stretch on May 10. The video was launched and incorporated into the Marlins' game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 1:22 minute video, with its energetic Cuban-inspired beat, showcases coffee making, preparation and enjoyment -- from CLR production to ballpark cup -- featuring select Marlin Fans and the CLR Roasters' staff. Miami-based CLR Roasters is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youngevity International, Inc. (OTCQX: YGYI).

The video was an enjoyable part of the "seventh-inning stretch" tradition, held in the middle of the seventh inning, enabling Marlins fans to get up, stretch their arms and legs, walk around and enjoy refreshments. It is a popular interval for enjoying snacks and beverages -- as food and beverage vendor sales end after the seventh inning.

"Café La Rica espresso and CLR Roasters are respectively, a homegrown Miami coffee beverage and a homegrown Miami company," stated Ernesto Aguila, President of CLR, and Founder of the Café La Rica Brand. "What better opportunity than to co-brand the Company and the Espresso with the hometown MLB team, the terrific Miami Marlins and their loyal Miami fans. When not at their favorite baseball game -- fans can purchase Café La Rica espresso at Publix, Presidente, Fresco Y Más, Sedanos, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Winn-Dixie and a variety of local independent stores. Perhaps that terrific Café La Rica espresso that fans sample at Marlins Park will be the espresso brand that they can enjoy at home."

"We are excited to showcase our partnership with CLR Roasters," stated Brendan Cunningham, SVP of the Miami Marlins. "The fan reaction to Café La Rica has been beyond our expectations, and we look forward to a long and mutually prosperous relationship."

Café La Rica espresso is a unique blend of the finest coffees, offering a fine aroma, thick crema, and a bold flavor true to the authentic Cuban coffee tradition. Over the course of the past 3 years, Café La Rica has become one of the fastest growing espresso brands in the Southeast United States. This co-branding opportunity with the Miami Marlins is expected to further enhance Cafe La Rica's relationship with its retail partners.
