What’s Up With Supps (WUWS) will be hosting its annual SupplySide West event at the House of Blues on Thursday, Oct. 26 from 5-11 pm, with After Hours 9-11 pm hosted by RFI Ingredients. Costumes are encouraged for the retro-toy-themed event (and prizes will be given for “best costumes”). 

WUWS Founder and Chief Fun Officer Diana Morgan said to expect appearances from characters such as Barbie and Mr. Potato Head, along with plenty more fun and games.
 
As part of WUWS’ commitment to “party with purpose” and give back to the community, $10 from each ticket sale will be donated to Sonoran University of Health Sciences’ Sage Foundation for Health. (Sonoran was previously known as the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.)
 
The event will also feature a silent auction where attendees can bid on high-end prizes such as a beach vacation, with all profits going to the university’s foundation.
 
Registered guests can skip the line by picking up a Fast Track sticker in advance of the event from the WUWS booth next to the Informa Info Desk located near the food court. Apply the sticker to your SupplySide badge and skip the line on the day of the event. 

“I can’t tell you how proud I am to serve on the board of WUWS. I get to work with some wonderful people. Creating a fun pace to network while helping nonprofit organizations is so rewarding and we hope our attendees will continue to join our efforts to give back,” said Gina Benninger, director of sales and global sourcing for Arizona Custom Blends and executive board member of WUWS.
 
“WUWS is an organization for the industry by the industry,” said Loren Brown, director of business development at Nutrasource and executive board member and partner at WUWS.
