TEXAS — Superstar gymnast Simone Biles is the face of Wheaties’ new limited-edition cereal box once again.
The Houston native first graced a Wheaties box last summer as a part of the cereal’s final box in its Century Series to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
Often considered the greatest gymnast of all time, Biles was selected by Wheaties to celebrate her accomplishments in the sport as well as her involvement and advocacy for mental health reform and education in foster care systems.
Biles revealed her second limited-edition box at the “Breakfast of Champions” event hosted by her and the cereal company. The gymnast is an ambassador for the Friends of the Children and this box celebrates her personal journey with foster care and adoption, as well as her efforts with the nonprofit.
"I am honored to be featured on my second Wheaties box and grateful for the opportunity to highlight Friends of the Children, an extraordinary organization that is working to make sure other youth have access to mentors and the support to dream big in life," Biles said. "I hope my journey can be an example to all children that anything is possible, and I'm excited to help expand access to resources and mentorship in my hometown with the launch of the Friends of the Children—Houston chapter!"
Other renowned athletes to be featured on the cereal box include Lou Gehrig, Michael Jordan, Mary Lou Retton, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods and Derek Jeter.
Biles' box is now available in stores.
