Milan Forward and NUTRILITE spokesman Ronaldinho. “I think this is a great program between my sponsor NUTRILITE and my club A.C. Milan because it puts my profession in line with my personal goals to help kids in need.”

NUTRILITE, the “Official Nutrition Supplement of A.C.
“In addition to helping his football club through competition on the field, Ronaldinho plays a vital role for us off the field, because he supports Amway’s focus to help children through the Amway One by One Campaign,” said CMO Candace Matthews. “His 10 goals have raised awareness and provided more resources children need to live, achieve, learn - - and of course play.”
