AT&T will serve as the official telecommunications sponsor for USA Gymnastics. AT&T receives the exclusive right and license to use the emblems and designations of USA Gymnastics to advertise and promote its products and services. AT&T also has marketing and hospitality rights for several USA Gymnastics events including the Tyson American Cup in Philadelphia, the Pacific Alliance Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the Visa Championships in St. Paul, Minn.

“We are excited that we can add USA Gymnastics to our portfolio of support for our nation’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes,” said Karen Jennings, senior executive vice president-human resources and communications for AT&T. “We feel that we are supporting two of the most recognized athletic programs in Olympic sport with our USA Gymnastics and USA Track & Field sponsorships, along with our support for the United States Olympic Committee. We are very proud that we can play a role in our country’s Olympic efforts.”

“USA Gymnastics is proud to add AT&T to its family of corporate partners” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “AT&T’s support will assist the country’s best gymnasts as they prepare to compete for Team USA in the 2008 Olympic Games. AT&T is recognized for its integrity and excellence, which are also characteristics associated with USA Gymnastics and its athletes.”

Today’s announcement is the latest step in the AT&T efforts to help U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes and hopefuls as they continue to train and compete.
