News Out...

Propell Corporation (OTCBB: PROP), founder of the PropellShops® "instant ecommerce" system for schools, businesses, nonprofits and the military, announced today the upcoming launch of new PropellShops fundraising web stores in partnership with public radio stations and charitable groups, adding to a variety of other shops supporting social causes and fundraising.

PropellShops lets any charity, fundraising effort, school or other organization quickly launch an online shop featuring a variety of personalized apparel and gifts without any investment in inventory. The products on display in a PropellShop are all made "on demand" -- meaning they are manufactured only when ordered, so there is no risk.

Propell has signed an agreement to power web shops for Friends of Arizona Public Radio (FPRAZ), based in Tempe, AZ (www.fpraz.org), to support special events such as Tequilazona (www.tequilazona.org) on April 16, as well as general fundraising. FPRAZ helps support KJZZ 91.5 and KBAQ 89.5, as well as Public Radio Partners, Inc., and local colleges in a coordinated effort to support public radio in Arizona.

Propell has also signed an agreement to launch similar fundraising support for West Valley Child Crisis Center (WVCCC) in Peoria, AZ (www.wvccc.org). WVCCC's mission is to fight domestic abuse in families through education, prevention programs, and safe placement services.

In addition, Propell partners are using the PropellShops service supporting many different causes -- from school bullying prevention and awareness (http://brandonbitner.propellshops.com), to helping raise funds for victims of the earthquake in New Zealand (http://christchurchearthquake.propellshops.com), as well as general funding for schools and nonprofits.

"We're personally delighted to be helping these groups make a difference in people's lives," said Bob Mayes, who leads "Propell 10," an independent sales organization that introduced the PropellShops service to both FPRAZ and WVCCC. "They are both doing terrific work, and we're proud to be able to offer our services to them to help them raise funds. We've waived all fees or setup costs, and each shop will contribute revenues directly to the organizations and their work."

Propell also provides online shops for numerous K-12 schools and universities nationwide, including University of Rochester, Cal State San Marcos and Biola University, as well as has licensing relationships with the Licensing Resource Group and Affinity Marketing for additional schools, conferences, and sororities and fraternities.

In addition, Propell provides similar shops for members of the Armed Services and their families through its Made To Order Military service (at www.madetoordermilitary.com and through the Army Air Force Exchange at www.shopmyexchange.com), for independent musicians at www.imradio.com, and for sports teams, businesses and other organizations.
