WWE® RALLIES YOUTH COMMUNITY
February 4, 2009

STAMFORD, CT —February 5, 2009—WWE is proud to announce WWE Community
Champions, a program that celebrates youth who display outstanding
community spirit. Selected youths will be featured in exclusive WWE
videos to appear on WWE.com and WWEKids.com.

With its newest program, WWE Community Champions, WWE is looking to
hear from parents of extraordinary youths and teens, grades 1-12, who
are giving back to their community, whether it’s by helping to rebuild
a dilapidated park, starting a reading program at school, or creating
a recycling drive to clean up their city. WWE will review the youths’
stories on how they have made positive changes in their community to
share with the WWE Universe™.

WWE Community Champions is the latest addition to WWE’s stable of
youth outreach programs. These include Get R.E.A.L. (Respect,
Education, Achievement and Leadership) READ, a nation-wide program in
which Superstars promote literacy, and Circle of Champions, a joint
effort with the Make-A-Wish® Foundation and other wish-granting
agencies. Since 1982, Circle of Champions has brought together WWE
Superstars and more than 5,000 youths with life-threatening illnesses
across the world.

Parents of youths interested in becoming a WWE Community Champion
should submit their stories or videos by mail to WWE Kids, Attn: WWE
Kids Community Champions, 1241 East Main St., Stamford, CT 06902, or
by email to Community...@wwe.com. If WWE chooses to feature a
youth’s story, he or she may be interviewed by WWE in a video to run
on WWE.com and/orWWEKids.com.
