"Venom Energy gets me pumped and energized and always enables me to perform at my best." Owens most recently moved into second place on the all-time NFL touchdown receptions list and was elected a captain of the Dallas Cowboys for the 2008 season. His unparalleled athletic ability and star power transcends football. "We're excited that the best wide receiver in the NFL has joined our team," said Randy Gier, chief marketing officer of Dr Pepper Snapple Group. "Terrell is an athlete that everyone connects with, so we're expecting great things from this partnership. We're popping the popcorn for his first visit with the Board." As his first official order of business, Terrell will call on Venom Energy's parent company Dr Pepper Snapple Group to support his charitable foundation, Catch a Dream, which provides food, clothing, shelter and proper resources to 81 underprivileged families. Through March 2009, Dr Pepper Snapple Group will donate money to Catch a Dream for every bottle of Venom sold. Terrell will also be participating in Venom Energy promotion and marketing campaigns including attendance at sponsored events and on in-store merchandising materials. The Venom energy blend contains caffeine, l-carnitine, guarana, ginseng and taurine, the hard-core ingredients that consumers are looking for in their energy drink.
