With just over 90 Days until the 2012 Olympic Games, Super Mom Blog would like to announce their support of the Procter & Gamble “Thank You Mom” Campaign! The campaign recognizes and celebrates the moms behind the athletes, by thanking moms for all they do! The campaign is also a part of P&G’s worldwide partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
P&G is not only a worldwide sponsor of the Olympic Games and a proud partner of Team South Africa, but they are also the Proud Sponsor of Moms.
“There is no way I, or any other athlete I know, would be where we are today without the support of our moms. I can never thank my mom enough for everything she did for me and that’s why I’m proud to be a part of this campaign that thanks moms everywhere.” ~ Khotso Mokoena, Long Jump silver medallist,
P&G has committed to raise $5 million to support local youth sports programs in many countries, through a portion of sales and donations from the company’s leadership brands including Pampers®, Always®, Head & Shoulders®, Gillette® WELLA®, Vicks®, and Pantene®,
In South Africa, motherhood extends beyond one’s biological child to the extended family, children within the community and to those in need. Here it’s about Mama – that special female someone who shaped who you are today, regardless of how or when you stretched your arms out to her.
The aim of the campaign, is to salute, not just the Mamas of Olympians, but all Mamas who have given so much. The Mamas who have raised great athletes and those who have raised great kids, these are the women who dedicate their lives to supporting and serving everyone else! So now is the time to support and serve them.
Someone needs to say, “Thank you, Mama” so along with P&G, Super Mom Blog would like everyone in South Africa to do the same. We hope that you can play a key role in inspiring South Africa to say “Thank You, Mama!”

P&G has also launched the “Thank You Mama app” that allows people to thank their own moms by uploading personalized content in the form of a video, still image with caption or text-based message. Users will then be able to encourage friends and family to do the same, spreading the word to thank and celebrate moms.
