January 28, 2010 by prosnack · Leave a Comment
This past month Elevate Me! donated some of our bars to the Power To Climb 2010 Mt. Kilimanjaro Expedition. We were very happy they chose to take our bar with them on this incredible journey:
Hi!
Hope your 2010 is off to a fabulous start! We’re back safely from Africa, and I’m happy to say that our whole team made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro! I’m also happy to say we exceeded our $150k fundraising objective! These funds will directly drive the program expansion of Power To Be and reduce waitlists, helping hundreds more underprivileged youths and families in our communities.
I wanted to thank you for all your support and providing us with the Elevate Me bars. I can say with certainty now that nutrition played a critical role in helping us all get to the summit, and your bars provided us with the nutrients and protein we needed to get to the top! You may also be interested to know the porters seemed to enjoy them as well. With a few bars left over, we decided to donate them to an orphanage in Moshi, which we visited after the climb – the orphanage appreciated the bars very much. This journey was a major life experience for each of us, and we were glad that Elevate Me was there every step of the way.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted on our next adventure, and please feel free to continue to check our site for updates

Vancouver company must meet Matt Lauer during Olympics
January 26, 2010 by prosnack · Leave a Comment
Vancouver’s own “Elevate Me!” protein and fruit bars (www.elevateme.com) is on a mission to meet Matt Lauer when he is in Vancouver to shoot the Today Show during the Olympics this February.
Says company founder Earl Ellingson, “We know Matt Lauer is an avid cyclist and the Today Show is shooting at Grouse Mountain. Since we make our bars at the base of the mountain we would be crazy not to try and meet Matt and get on the Today Show!”
Already “Elevate Me!” has sent a gift pack to Matt and offered him useful advice on how to avoid a repeat of his unfortunate run-in with a deer while cycling (click to see cartoon reenactment here: http://www.prosnack.com/mattlauer
They have also offered Matt a years’ supply of fresh bars and a matching years supply donated to his charity choice.
Starting February 1st “Elevate Me!” is running a twitter contest, rewarding our followers for Matt Lauer sightings and hiding limited edition gift packs throughout Vancouver stuffed with Elevate Me! bars and other goodies.
Each day starting Feb 1st through the Olympics they will send coded hint tweets to “Elevate Me!” followers.
During the Olympics “Elevate Me!” ambassadors will be handing out free bars and trying to meet Matt and welcome the rest of the Today Show team.
“Elevate Me!” energy bars are made fresh daily by a dedicated family business in North Vancouver and selling across Canada, and soon into Whole Foods Northwest USA. The success of Elevate Me bars is due to the 7 unique and delicious flavors, the high whey protein amount and whole fruits. The bars are called “the world’s simplest protein and fruit energy bars” because all they contain is real simple food. Gluten-free, soy-free, cold formed = Simple. Clean. Fruit. Protein.

November 27, 2009 by prosnack · Leave a Comment
North Vancouver’s own protein bar Elevate Me! was invited to participate in this year’s gift lounge at the Whistler Film Fest Dec 3rd to 6th. With all eyes on Whistler, this event should prove to be exciting exposure for Vancouver’s own protein bar.
“Elevate Me! will be such a good fit at this event! Perfect crowd, perfect venue,” commented CEO of The Uptown GiftBox Company and producer of the VIP Lounge, Gabrielle Durning.
Company owners’ Trish and Earl Ellingson, who have been making Elevate Me! bars since 2003, are very excited to be selected to participate in this event. “We love our bars and we love our customers who love our bars,” say the Ellingsons. “So anytime we can get more people to try Elevate Me, the better!”
With the Olympics coming to our proud city, people will be heading up to Whistler. This is the perfect bar to take up the hill or to have handy at 3 p.m. It’s pre-portioned into 3 easy to eat pieces and doesn’t melt or isn’t coated with chocolate. “The world simplest protein and fruit energy bar”
Elevate Me! bars are gluten free whey protein bars that are made with all natural ingredients. Trish and Earl grew this family business out of a vision and mom’s recipe and have turned it into one of Vancouver’s most successful small businesses.
