WWE® Goes Pink with Susan G. Komen®

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WWE (NYSE:WWE) and Susan G. Komen® will continue their
partnership with WWE Superstars and Divas wearing co-branded Susan G.
Komen and WWE apparel, and WWE platforms “going pink” in support of
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As part of this year’s “Rise
Above Cancer” campaign, WWE will donate to Komen 20 percent of the
retail sales price of all co-branded merchandise sold on WWEShop.com and
at WWE live events. Fans can also donate $1, $5 or $10 to Komen upon
checkout from WWEShop.com.


To support Komen’s mission, WWE will utilize all its assets including
WWE Network and TV broadcasts, live events, PSAs, digital and social
media to generate awareness and encourage fans to get involved.
Throughout the month, the WWE announcer table, entrance ramp and ring
skirts will be co-branded and the middle ring rope turned pink to
promote the fight against breast cancer. Fans will also have the option
to turn their Facebook and Twitter profiles pink to show their support.
In addition, a co-branded WWE and Susan G. Komen flag will be flown
outside of WWE’s corporate headquarters.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with WWE,” said Christina
Alford, SVP of development for Susan G. Komen. “Their ‘Rise Above
Cancer’ campaign reaches women in communities across the country,
bringing awareness and helping us fund lifesaving research, and support
to families living with breast cancer who need our help today.”

“WWE is exceptionally proud to continue our partnership with Susan G.
Komen and its support of breast cancer research and awareness,” said WWE
Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon. “WWE remains deeply committed to
this movement, as we utilize our global platforms to raise awareness and
funds for a disease that impacts so many people around the world.”

Susan G. Komen and WWE have a history of success in raising awareness
and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The partnership launched
in 2012 and has generated more than $1.5 million for Komen to date. This
past May, Komen and WWE teamed up again to support the Washington, D.C.
Race for the Cure and National Women’s Health Week.
