Don't know what Sugarpova is? It's a premium candy line that reflects the fun, fashionable, sweet side of Maria Sharapova. Maria Sharapova is an international tennis player who as of July 7, 2014 is ranked world No. 6 by the Women's Tennis Association. She has created her own candy business to offer an accessible bit of luxury, interpreting classic candies in her own signature style. Maria is bringing a new level of quality to the candy category through fun, unexpected types and shapes with playful names to match. Wrapped up in a beautiful package, it includes both style and substance, just like its founder Maria Sharapova.
The owner of this candilicious brand tells the story of how she came up with the idea of creating Sugarpova, "I've always had a sweet tooth. And I am not exaggerating one bit. My earliest memory of candy is being a little girl back in Russia and asking my parents for a lollipop after a good practice on the tennis court. It was that little treat I looked forward to. And here I am many years later hoping to get a sweet treat after a good practice. So when the name Sugarpova came about and I put the two together, I realized how much fun this could be. I have been a part of many projects, collections, collaborations, shoots, but at the end of the day I was always just that... a little part of it. So I put my thinking hat on and realized I wanted to start something on my own. Something that could bring the fun and passion of gummy candies to life and can be my own little project from start to finish. After 18 months of endless brainstorming, adult-like decision making, budget hair-pulling, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, it's finally here! I hope you enjoy the candy as much as I have enjoyed starting this adventure."

In 2007, Maria became a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and donated $100,000 to Chernobyl-related projects. Recently, in partnership with the UNDP, Maria launched a $210,000 scholarship program for students from Chernobyl-affected areas of Belarus. The Maria Sharapova Foundation Scholarship for Youth from the Chernobyl-Affected Areas of Belarus will award five-year scholarships to 12 students at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts and the Belarusian State University. "It has always been my dream to contribute to the recovery of a region where I have a personal connection," said Maria, who has family roots in Gomel, Belarus. "Enabling talented young people to pursue higher education is part of a broader effort to build a brighter future for the region".
