ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- From recording in the studio, rehearsing for world tours and performing on stage for thousands of fans, a music artist's work is a journey requiring determination and drive. Understanding that a musical performer's work is never done, Degree Women^® has teamed up with Grammy Award-winner, Ciara, for its DO:MORE campaign.  One of the ultimate "do-ers" in the music industry, Ciara and Degree Women^® will encourage women nationwide to challenge themselves and pursue their passions. 

"As a performer, every time I set foot on stage, I push myself to go beyond, go further and never stop improving," said Ciara, award-winning musical artist and performer.  "I've been using and loving Degree^® for years, that's why I'm so excited to be partnering with them to motivate women everywhere. Degree^® is so much more than a deodorant to me – their products with motionSENSE™ technology are the only products that keep me protected and last while I'm on stage performing."
