Clark is the most highly endorsed female athlete in the world, with the Dowling Catholic High School graduate having partnerships with Nike, Wilson Sporting Goods, State Farm and Gatorade, among others. One of Clark’s earliest partnerships was with the Midwestern supermarket chain Hy-Vee, dating back to 2021. On Monday, Clark and Hy-Vee announced a new initiative.
Hy-Vee and Clark announced that they will partner to help local students and athletes in the community, allowing them to flourish on and off the court. In an Instagram video, Hy-Vee showed Clark engaging with local community members. The initiative will help support local schools across the Midwest, with the Turner High Lady Bears featured in the video. The full video is available on Hy-Vee’s YouTube page.
That same day, Clark went to Instagram to react to the news, posting the minute-long version of the video on her Instagram Story.
“We’re proud to partner with @caitlinclark22 to help students and athletes thrive in our communities,” Hy-Vee wrote in the Instagram caption. “On and off the court. ❤️”
Clark and the Fever’s next matchup will be a home game against the Portland Fire on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET.
