Olympic Gold Medalist Henry Cejudo Partners with Procter & Gamble and Its Orgullosa Program to Fuel Sports Dreams of Youth in the United States As the Proud Sponsor of Moms, P&G presents this series about the mom behind the Olympic athlete.

Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), a Worldwide Olympic Partner, and its

Orgullosa program have partnered with Olympic Wrestling Athlete Henry

Cejudo and his mom Nelly Rico to drive the importance of sports and

encourage the community to help raise $500,000 for the P&G|Team USA

Youth Sports Fund, which supports the United States Olympic

Committee (USOC) youth sports organizations across the country.

The fund, created to provide broader access to youth sports and support

moms who want their children to achieve their personal best, is part of

the company’s “Thank you, Mom” global initiative for the London 2012

Olympic Games. Through its participation in this campaign, Orgullosa

recognizes the dedication and effort of moms everywhere, like Nelly, who

are the driving force behind the Olympic dream, and who embody what it

is to be a “mujer con la falda bien puesta™.”¹

Cejudo’s success story exemplifies the positive impact that sports can

play in a young person’s life: one of six children, he was raised in

some of poorest neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Phoenix. With his

mother’s support, and motivated to overcome the hardships of his

childhood, Cejudo focused his efforts in school and athletics, becoming

the youngest American wrestler to ever win an Olympic gold medal.

“I am honored to be part of the Orgullosa ‘Thank You, Mom’ campaign and

celebrate my mom’s hard work and efforts as well as help support the

next generation of athletes,” said Cejudo. “While passion and

perseverance are important to succeed, having access to community

programs that provide opportunities for our youth to achieve their

athletic dreams is as important.”

“Following our commitment to touch and improve lives, at P&G we are

proud to help moms raise happy, healthy kids by supporting efforts like

the Youth Sports Fund,” said Valentina Sanchez, Orgullosa Brand Manager.

“As a mom, I can relate to the desire to give our children access to all

the opportunities and resources to make their lives the best they can

be.”

Support for the USOC’s P&G|Team USA Youth Sports Fund will come from

consumer engagement, donations and brand programs from the company’s

leadership brands, including Pampers®, Tide®, Gillette® and Pantene®,

among others. Consumers can support the cause by redeeming coupons from

the P&G Youth Sports brandSAVER that will be distributed on Sunday, July

1 in newspapers across the country, For each coupon redeemed, P&G and
