Welcome to Wise Foods, Inc.


Wise goes with...heart.
To succeed in competitive sports, you gotta' have heart. Wise is proud to team up with an all-star hero known both for the spirit he brings to his game and for the dedication he brings to his philanthropic work off the field. Throughout the year, Jorge Posada will be promoting Wise Potato Chips as we support his work for children's causes by contributing a portion of all Wise New York Deli Potato sales to the Jorge Posada Foundation. Look for Jorge in Wise ads, point of sale and radio spots in the months to come. We are honored to call Jorge Posada our friend.


Jorge Posada…catches for New York, pitches for Wise.

In the four seasons since becoming the New York Yankees’ starting catcher, Jorge Posada has become one of the game’s elite players. In those four seasons, the switch hitter has averaged 25 home runs and 95 RBIs, hitting .287, .277, .268 and .281. His 30 home runs in 2003 tied the single-season record for Yankees catcher (set by Yogi Berra in 1952 and 1956). Jorge was selected for the All-Star team four years running (2000-2003) and was the starting catcher in 2002 and 2003. Also last year, he ranked third in the American League Most Valuable Player voting (behind Texas' Alex Rodriguez and Toronto's Carlos Delgado).

Jorge has been awarded the 2001 Milton Richman “You Gotta’ Have Heart” Award by the New York Chapter of the BBWAA, and he received the 2000 Thurman Munson Award for his accomplishments on the field and in philanthropic work in New York. In the fall of 2000, Jorge and his wife Laura established the Jorge Posada Foundation, a member of the Giving Back Fund family of charities, to foster athletic programs for children in New York City and Puerto Rico. His foundation also supports organizations that work with children who suffer from craniosynostosis, a medical condition for which Jorge and Laura’s son Jorge Jr. has been successfully treated.

We consider Jorge Posada an All-Star both on and off the field, and we are proud that he has chosen to endorse our products. Watch and listen for Jorge’s contributions to our marketing efforts throughout the year.
