Sponsorship
Own a moment. Build a legacy
Why Sponsor
Your brand at the intersection of athletics, equity, and impact
The timing is perfect
WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago is the cultural moment of the summer, the All-Star Game returns to the United Center on July 25, and All-Star Impact sits at the center of the surrounding wave of media and cultural attention.
The mission is the message
Closing the generational wealth gap, building housing stability, and empowering athletes, youth, and women resonate with the consumers, employees, and stakeholders that brands work hardest to reach.
The impact is real and visible
Every dollar raised funds Living on Purpose's programs directly, transitional housing for youth, scholarships for athletes, and financial literacy workshops. Specific outcomes, measurable results, recognized at the event and in the annual impact report.
