The grant will be used to benefit the USA Gymnastics Fitness Program, which
encourages kids ages 6-16 to engage in physical fitness through training,
exercise and nutrition awareness. This is the first of several grants that
will be awarded to National Governing Bodies (NGBs) to help encourage youth to
engage in sports.

“Participation in youth sports was a driver to get me to where I am today. All
kids should have the opportunity to reach their dreams like I have, and youth
sports can help do that,” said Shawn Johnson, Olympic gold medalist in
gymnastics. “I am proud to be working with P&G and look forward to watching
the positive impact P&G and its brands will have on the sport of gymnastics.”

Kids who participate in the USA Gymnastics Fitness Program will benefit from
the program’s year-round goal of helping youth achieve a physically active
lifestyle. Through lessons, training exercises and charts to track
participants’ progress at home, this program found on the USA Gymnastics
website at www.usagym.org/fitness will assist children in providing a solid
foundation for becoming physically fit and healthy.

“On behalf of USA Gymnastics, we are thankful to P&G for its grant of $75,000
that will be used to support our youth development programs such as the USA
Gymnastics Fitness Program,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics.
“P&G’s commitment to youth sports will help to further develop the next
generation of gymnasts from recreational to elite.”

P&G and its beauty brands like Venus®, Olay®, Secret, Pantene and COVERGIRL®
are encouraging consumers to help support the USOC’s P&G|Team USA Youth Sports
Fund. Consumers across the country can participate by redeeming the P&G
brandSAVER coupons from the Sunday, July 1 newspaper. For each coupon

“We have been a proud supporter of USA Gymnastics for many years through our
beauty brands,” said Jodi Allen, Vice President of North American Operations
and Marketing at P&G and herself a mother of four. “We are also the proud
supporters and sponsors of moms to help them make their children’s lives the
best they can be. Through this grant, moms can help their athletes reach new
heights. We are thrilled to continue our support of USA Gymnastics and youth
sports as part of the company’s global effort to raise more than $5 million.”
