Aly Raisman Inks Endorsement Deal with PANDORA Jewelry

PANDORA Jewelry, one of world's largest jewelry brands, announced Thursday (October 4th) an endorsement deal with three-time Olympic medalist and U.S. Captain, Alexandra (Aly) Raisman.
The 30-year old jewelry brand prides itself on offering high-quality jewelry that celebrates each woman's personal style and individuality. PANDORA is honored to help Aly commemorate her achievements in the sport of gymnastics, which have made her a role model for many women and girls of all ages around the world.

As part of the endorsement deal, the Boston native and world champion will be featured in PANDORA's 2013 print campaign and will make select appearances at several PANDORA stores during and following the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions.

"When we think about PANDORA, we instantly begin to think about the women who inspire and encourage us," said Angel Ilagan, Vice President, Marketing, PANDORA Jewelry, North America. "It goes without saying that this past summer, Aly was among the many women who moved us all, men and women, and inspired others to celebrate the qualities that make us unique. We are thrilled to have Aly join the PANDORA family."

Her first public PANDORA appearance will be on Saturday, October 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the PANDORA store in Stonebriar Centre Mall in Frisco, Texas. Future events will include appearances in the St. Louis, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta markets. At these events Aly will select charms that show her unforgettable moments of 2012, showcase her personal style and include sentimental reminders of her friends, family and favorite hobbies. She also will greet fans, take photos and sign autographs.

"I'm excited to join a brand that inspires women to celebrate who they are and what makes them unique," said Aly. "From my mom to the 1996 Women's Gymnastics Team and many more, there have been so many positive women who helped me realize and achieve my dreams. With fashion being a huge interest and passion of mine, I am excited to work with PANDORA and bring some new perspective from the gymnastics world."

In addition to the 2013 print campaign and 2012-13 in-store appearances, Aly (@Aly_Raisman or Facebook.com/AlyRaisman) will also actively contribute to PANDORA's growing social media efforts (@PANDORA_NA or Facebook.com/PANDORAJewelry).
