launched earlier this year.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Williams sisters also will appear as spokeswomen for Avon
and its products, be featured on Avon-owned Web sites and make
personal appearances at Avon-sponsored events such as the company's
annual National Representative Convention, Avon said.
They will also help launch Avon Wellness, the company's new
global line of women's health and well-being products, including
vitamins and nutritional supplements.

and she won two gold medals in the Sydney Olympics.
