Despite the recession, Rush Limbaugh announced today on his top-rated
nationally syndicated radio program that Two If By Tea donated more
than $1,000,000 in product and monetary contributions since going into
business just over one year ago.
Launched in June 2011, Two If By Tea
is a new brand of iced tea created by Limbaugh and his wife Kathryn.
Available in a variety of flavors, including original, raspberry, peach
and diet, the product is proudly assembled, packaged and distributed in
America, reflecting American values and a patriotic theme.
Far exceeding anticipated product sales, Limbaugh thanked his listeners
for their support in beating the original $100,000 goal ten-fold. "We
ran the numbers, and we are thrilled to announce that because of you,
Two If By Tea has donated over $1 million in product and monetary
donations to incredible causes, including the Marine Corps -- Law
Enforcement Foundation."
Limbaugh's tone was nostalgic at times, revealing some of the reasons he
began the tea company. "We wanted to be able to start a small business
in the United States," he stated. "I personally wanted to experience
firsthand all of the requirements, the licenses, the fees needed to take
a product to market from nothing. Our goal was to create jobs, and
manufacture with all American-made products in a fun, unique way."
Limbaugh spoke of the things that make him happy including "sharing our
success," and "sharing your passions."
The Marine Corps -- Law Enforcement Foundation provides scholarships to
the children of fallen marines and federal law enforcement officers
killed in the line of duty abroad and at home.
