PRESS RELEASE:
Program aimed at offering guidance and aid to struggling veterans across the country
ORLANDO, Fla., May 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Clean the World, a leader in Global Health, and Motivational Speaker and Owner of Booyah Energy, Shane Johnson, announce the launch of its “Hike Across America - The Second Chance Tour” to support veterans experiencing difficulties transitioning into the workplace. This three-month initiative will raise awareness for the struggles veterans face going from active duty to civilian life. During the hike, Marine, Shane Johnson will cover over 3,000 miles speaking and inspiring communities, corporate leaders, and city officials to work together on finding solutions to support our veterans in need while distributing over 10,000 hygiene kits to individuals experiencing homelessness across the U.S.
“Hike Across America – The Second Chance Tour” powered by Clean the World and Booyah Energy starts July 4th in Las Vegas, Nevada and ends on September 11th in Orlando, Florida. Covering 10 cities in 10 states, Shane Johnson and Clean the World will honor a hero in each city along the route while raising funds to purchase a home for a much-deserved hero in the Orlando area for a September 11th ribbon cutting.
“I am passionate about what I do and in helping others find a process and plan that will work for their individual or organizational needs,” says Shane Johnson, Motivational Speaker and Owner of Booyah Energy. “This Hike Across America is about encouraging individuals in hurt places to remove obstacles that keep them down. I’ve overcome homelessness, so I’ve been there. I inspire these veterans to hold themselves accountable for their future.” ~
This is the second time that Clean the World and Shane Johnson have partnered on this veteran initiative. In 2017, Shane walked 22 miles a day for 65 consecutive days stopping at cities from Orlando, Florida to San Diego, California, visiting homeless shelters in each city. Clean the World and its sponsors were able to distribute over 10,000 Veterans’ Hygiene Kits to shelters along the route. Hygiene kits provide life-saving supplies to individuals that cannot afford basic items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush for example. Clean the World works with businesses that want to serve the homeless community in hosting hygiene kit team building events at their location. It’s a fun and unique way to serve the local community.
This year’s Hike Across America – the Second Chance Tour will stop in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, St Louis, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Orlando. In addition, Clean the World encourages businesses across the country to assemble kits and donate to charities that serve veterans in their area.
“Last year, we were able to support thousands of veterans in twenty different cities through the generous support from our sponsors,” says Shawn Seipler, founder and CEO of Clean the World.
“This year, we hope to expand our reach to help even more individuals across the country. We encourage businesses to take part in Hike Across America by serving their local communities. These hygiene supplies, which are not covered by government programs, keep individuals healthy, prevents the spread of illnesses, and makes them feel refreshed so they can better their situation. It’s amazing how something so basic can have such a positive impact on someone’s life.”

About Booyah Energy
Booyah Energy founded by once homeless and now Motivational Speaker Shane Johnson is not just a drink or an apparel line – it is a state of mind. The idea behind this brand and product is pure empowerment. It is the Superman-energy that fuels your Clark Kent, the inner Hulk strength to your Bruce Banner, The Wonder Woman to your Diana Prince. When you put on Booyah Apparel, you represent a person who was once homeless and understood that only Empowerment is what pulled him out of that dark place to find mindful success. In other words, the empowerment turned the homeless person into a superhero, giving them the strength and courage to try again. One of our outreach platforms is to employ persons experiencing homelessness by allowing them the opportunity to be models for our drinks and apparel. Each time you purchase an item from one of our homeless models, know that a portion of the proceeds goes directly back to that individual and through your purchase, you are empowering them with the ability to get back on their feet and take on tomorrow with a brand new positive outlook on their life!
