"We are thrilled to be supporting such a great organization and
working closely with elite female athletes from around the world,"
says Dan Macuga, USANA's VP of
Marketing and Public Relations. "This will be our fifth year
sponsoring the WTA and we look forward to maximizing our
partnership and helping each other reach our goals."
"USANA's sponsorship not only supports the WTA as an
organization, but the individual health of our players, as well,"
says Andrew Walker, the WTA's Senior
VP of Global Marketing & Communications. "The WTA is an
organization with over 2,200 players from 96 nations promoting the
world's leading professional sport for women. Partnering with
a global company such as USANA has truly been a perfect match."
In addition to endorsing the USANA products they use, the six
new brand ambassadors will represent USANA to media, participate in
USANA-sponsored meet-and-greets and tennis clinics, and promote
Children's Hunger Fund, USANA's designated charity, among many
activities.
"Back before USANA even came along, I was always wanting to find
a vitamin that I could take that was guaranteed free of any banned
substances," says Samantha Stosur,
who is currently the sixth-ranked player in the world. "As soon as
USANA came along I was very happy use it. It does make a
difference."
"I've been trusting my health to USANA for years," says
Liezel Huber, defending U.S. Open
Mixed Doubles champion, "I'm proud to serve as a brand ambassador
to a company I believe in."
