"Live, Learn & Thrive"

We have long made a difference in the causes we support, but we can make a greater, more enduring

difference by

focusing on a "corporate cause" where the need is great and there is a clear fit with P&G

strengths, brands and current

programs.

We are committed to focusing our charitable contributions and sustainability efforts on a single cause:

improving life for

children in need, ages 0-13, through our corporate cause, P&G Live, Learn and Thrive. In

fact, because of this focus,

we already have helped improve life for more than 40 million children in need

around the world.

P&G resources:

Help children in need live by helping ensure they get off to a healthy start;

Provide children in need with places, tools and programs that enhance their ability to learn;

Give children in need access to programs that help develop the self-esteem and life skills that they need to

thrive.

There are several reasons to concentrate our resources in this area:

Disadvantaged children are most vulnerable and least able to help themselves.

We have many existing programs in children's education and development as well as deep expertise in health

and

hygiene, which will be critical in addressing global needs for children and the world.

Child development is a universal concern across all global stakeholders in both developed and developing

countries.

By strengthening current programs, introducing new ones and focusing our expertise and technologies on this

critical

need, we can improve the future for these children throughout the world.

The Augusta International Raceway Preservation Society is proud that the "Children's Outdoor Reading Area"
at Motorsports Memorial Plaza located at the Diamond Lakes Community Center/Library Complex meets
requirements of the "Live, Learn & Thrive" program. Grant funds supplied through this program will begin the
process of placing benches to form an amphitheater in the Outdoor Reading Area.
