USA Pears PEARS Up with Pop Band Honor Society

USA Pears “PEARS UP” WITH HONOR SOCIETY

Innovative partnership gives fans the chance to meet Honor Society this summer!

Portland, Ore. - July 15, 2009 - The growers of USA Pears have joined forces with pop band Honor Society in an innovative partnership that will allow fans to savor some sweet rewards! 

Courtesy of USA Pears, Honor Society fans are being presented with the opportunity to win concert tickets and a chance to meet the band, while also learning about fresh, healthy, and delicious pears. Currently on the road as part of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009, Honor Society is also headlining their Full Moon Crazy tour, which will bring their infectious live performances to new audiences across the country.  With each show, fans will be introduced to the world’s finest USA Pears.

As pop music and produce partner for the first time, Honor Society is thrilled to have this delicious treat be a part of their summer tour.  Being pear lovers themselves, the band hopes this partnership will not only give fans exciting opportunities to meet them this summer, but also promote a healthy lifestyle. “We couldn’t be more excited about this cool program with USA Pears,” says Michael Bruno, lead singer of Honor Society.  “As a band constantly on the road, we have to pay attention to our diets so we are our best at each and every performance.  Pears are big part of that diet and we make sure to have them around at gigs, on the tour bus or during rehearsals.”

Fans can visit www.usapears.org to “Pear Up” with Honor Society and enter for the chance to win a pair of tickets to see them perform as the opening act on the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 this summer.  Fans that already have tickets can enter to win an exclusive chance to meet the gentlemen of Honor Society in person.

This exciting summer will be rounded out with a fresh new crop of pears, which will coincidentally begin their harvest at the time of the full moon in August, so both the pear growers and Honor Society will be Full Moon Crazy! 

Honor Society and USA Pears will continue their partnership through 2009, with more exciting events and promotions still to come.  Be sure to watch www.usapears.org and www.myspace.com/honorsociety for more information.
