SILVER SPRING, Md., April 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB: SNPK) (PINKSHEETS: SNPK) (the "Company" or "Sunpeaks Ventures") and its wholly owned subsidiary Healthcare Distribution Specialists, LLC ("HDS") are pleased to announce that HDS has entered into an advertising and promotion agreement ("Agreement") with a major pro sports team based in the state of Arizona (the "Team") for the marketing of Clotamin.  The Agreement is part of new marketing initiatives to promote and launch Clotamin in 240 Walgreens throughout Arizona.

Under terms of the Agreement, HDS, in conjunction with Walgreens, will have the right to make use of the Team name and logo in connection with an in-store Clotamin promotion, including the prominent placement of counter point-of-sale (POS) displays in all Walgreens locations in the state of Arizona for the duration of the promotion – approximately five months, beginning on June 1, 2012. 

During the consumer promotion and advertising program, Clotamin will be featured at Team home games on signage and other marketing elements throughout the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.  Team fans will be encouraged to visit their local Walgreens location, pick-up an entry form at the Team vendor display, and register for the opportunity to experience a Team home game in the comfort of an exclusive private box.  One lucky winner each month (4 total) will receive a private box for a Team home game, including game tickets, VIP parking passes, and a food and beverage package for 16 guests.  Also included in the exclusive prize package experience is special personal appearance by the Team mascot/cheerleaders and 16 team gift bags. 

"Similar to our pro sports team deal to market Clotamin with Walgreens in Oregon, this new agreement in Arizona is designed to leverage our advertising capabilities to grow awareness and acceptance of Clotamin with strong endorsements and strategic sponsorships," stated Mackie A. Barch, CEO of Sunpeaks Ventures. "The marketing combination of pharmacy powerhouse Walgreens and a highly-recognizable pro sports team is designed to allow us to quickly introduce Clotamin to a statewide audience of loyal customers and fans.  We look forward to working closely with Walgreens and the Team to make this a successful product launch and an unforgettable experience for our contest winners."
