USANA and WTA Remain a Perfect Match

WTA Brand Ambassadors

Earlier this week you read that a few of us were meeting with our WTA Brand Ambassadors for our annual photo shoot, and that you should stay tuned for an exciting announcement.

Well, wait no more…

WTA LogoUSANA would like to announce that it has renewed and significantly upgraded its partnership with the global leader in women’s professional sport through 2016!

USANA and the WTA’s partnership has been considered a perfect match since its inception in 2006, so it makes sense that USANA would remain the Official Health Supplement Supplier of the WTA another three years, and continue to provide its high-quality nutritional products to more than 160 WTA athletes, including 14 athletes in the WTA Top 20, and seven of the Top 10.

“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with USANA for another three years. In 2006, the WTA searched for a company that would fulfill a longtime request by players for nutritional supplements that are guaranteed to be free of banned substances on the WADA Prohibitive List. USANA stood out as an organization that felt so strongly about the quality and purity of its product, and we look forward to our continued partnership with this great company.”

The significantly upgraded terms also include an international roster of ambassadors, significant marketing, digital and social media activation benefits, and sponsorship of nine WTA events across all regions of the world, including the year-end WTA Championships in Singapore, to better reach USANA’s 19 international markets.

“We are honored to be able to extend our relationship with the WTA and continue providing our quality supplements to these elite female athletes. We look forward to what the future has in store for our partnership,” said Dan Macuga, USANA’s chief communications officer.

Serving Others

USANA and the WTA are also launching its inaugural “Aces for Humanity” campaign to help raise awareness and funds for the USANA True Health Foundation. Beginning this week at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, every ace served at Premier-level WTA events will translate into a $5 donation to the foundation; $10 per ace served by an ambassador.
