We are proud to host these visitors from around the world at our city's truly unique and exciting hotel and convention venues, said Frisco Mayor Maher Maso. In recognition of its commitment to fighting malnutrition, Frisco is declaring May 1st, M5M Day.

For millions of children around the world, essential nutrition is simply not an available option. Malnutrition is considered to be one of the most pressing challenges for the world's most at-risk children. Malnutrition is a phenomenon that impacts the lives of 55 million children at any given moment. Each year, an estimated five million children die from causes related to malnutrition. That's one child every six seconds.

Our goal with the Mission 5 Million(SM) movement is to link five million consumers of our glyconutrient, food-based nutrition supplements with five million children in need, said Al Bala, President, International, and Chief Sales Officer. This year at MannaFest, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate the progress we've made, and reinforce our drive to make this vision a reality.

Mannatech recently announced the results of its social entrepreneurial efforts over 2013 through its Mission 5 Million, or M5M , movement.  In total, purchases placed by Mannatech customers and Associates generated over 16 million servings of the company's nutrient-dense PhytoBlend™ powder to children in need in 15 different countries.

Mannatech's nutrient-dense PhytoBlend powder is specifically designed to help in the fight against global malnutrition. When added to a child's meal, PhytoBlend powder helps provide children with a portion of their daily nutritional needs and, most importantly, helps combat the devastating effects of malnutrition.
