Proctor & Gamble announced as Stroller Strides sponsor

SAN DIEGO Stroller Strides, an exercise program for new moms and their babies, on Tuesday announced that Procter & Gamble with its brand Pampers has signed on as the company's premier sponsor for 2009.

"We are thrilled to have Pampers as our premier sponsor," stated Lisa Druxman, founder of Stroller Strides. "In addition to being one of the most trusted sources of baby care products, Pampers shares in our commitment to provide invaluable resources to moms and their young children."

Druxman, a pre/postnatal expert and author, currently serves as a lifestyle expert for the Pampers Parenting Network and will contribute exclusive articles and content to the new Pampers Village, an online community found at www.Pampers.com where moms can chat about topics that affect their families most.

As the premier sponsor, Pampers will maintain a strong presence in Stroller Strides 2009 marketing initiatives—from the www.strollerstrides.com web site to monthly member newsletters and retail items.

Stroller Strides has also adopted Pampers' 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine fundraising program to benefit UNICEF as its umbrella cause for 2009. Established to help UNICEF work toward eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus in developing countries, funding raised through the 1 Pack = 1 Vaccine campaign will help UNICEF provide life-saving tetanus vaccines to protect women and their newborns against this deadly but vaccine-preventable disease.
