Bellator MMA heavyweight Justin Wren has devoted his life for now years to the Fight for the Forgotten, an ongoing, successful effort to bring freedom and life-sustaining water to formerly enslaved Mbuti Pygmy peoples in the Congo region. His efforts were chronicled in the best-selling book Fight for the Forgotten.
Some time ago, Wren was asked to speak at the JASCO Products' "Going Beyond" company meeting attended by some 500 employees. JASCO has been a technology industry leader for 40+ years, with over 3,000 products on the market, and 85 million units sold last year. They make products for GE, Target, Costco, Walmart, Sams Club, Lowes, and many more.
The Oklahoma City-based JASCO enjoys a corporate culture of giving and has partnered with Wren on a tremendous effort. JASCO has started a new tech brand, Eco Survivor.
The brand new, outdoor, rugged tech line makes a difference in the world. It offers products from waterproof Bluetooth speakers, waterproof battery packs (power banks), to a line of portable weather-resistant Bluetooth speakers with battery packs, ultra durable and bright lanterns, flashlights, headlamps, walkie talkies/2-Way radio that are also Bluetooth speakers, and lots more. Eco Survivor is giving 50% - YES FIFTY PERCENT - of the brand's profits to Water4 and Fight For The Forgotten, to tap out the water crisis in our lifetime.
The Consumer Electronics Show is the largest convention in the world, with over 3,000 vendors and an estimated 200,000 in attendance. Jasco has one of the largest booths at CES, and EcoSurvivor has it's on booth within Jasco's, and does Wren and the Fight for the Forgotten.
Wren will be speaking nine times at the event, and all 30-40 Jasco employees will be wearing Fight For The Forgotten shirts during CES. Pictures and the story of Wren's Pygmy family are all over the packaging. He is the brand spokesperson and will be showing the incredible durability of the products, and how we can light up the world by the work that we do. JASCO/Eco Survivor jobs are creating opportunities for job creation in Congo and helping solve the world's water crisis simultaneously.
Wren also has a three-page spread in the magazine Innovation & Tech double issue, which has Scarlett Johansson on one cover and Kevin Hart on the other side, announcing the launch. The magazine features some of the EcoSurvivor brand products, and a separate interview with the CEO talking about why they linked up with an MMA fighter.

Yessssss!
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT GUYS!!!
I've actually been helping with designing, testing, and now endorsing #EcoSurvivor :) Design wise... just telling them what our team needs in Congo for it to WORK and LAST and fielding questions and asking questions in the product meetings... there is going to be some AWESOME stuff coming out!
We launched yesterday, but we don't go to market for several months I believe. We are hoping to gain the interest of places like REI, Bass Pro, Cabelas, but it's so affordable we've been having meetings with Walmart, Target, Costco, etc... and we will make our first big push on Amazon when we go to market :)
50% of this is going to Fight For The Forgotten! That's unheard of! I'm blown away... and these guys, Jasco, have the licensing deals and make 3,000 products for GE, Phillips, Energizer, Honeywell, and a ton of others :) Its going to be LEGIT :)
