No. 22 Caitlin Clark Surprised with 22nd Parity Week by Gainbridge® Grant to the Caitlin Clark Foundation

The final Parity Week by Gainbridge® grant for 2024 was announced Tuesday, November 12 at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. Group 1001 President and CEO Dan Towriss presented Gainbridge® ambassador Caitlin Clark with the 22nd grant for $22,000 to the Caitlin Clark Foundation.  

“Aligning with Caitlin’s foundation is a way to make a positive impact and create a better tomorrow for women and girls in sports and education,” said Towriss. “Caitlin is not only a leader for young girls competing in sports but also continues to impact many off the court.” 

Gainbridge®, an insurtech subsidiary of Group 1001, launched Parity Week by Gainbridge® in 2023 to highlight its commitment to investing in the future of girls and women through sports and education. The namesake for the initiative is Gainbridge's sister company, Parity, a brand sponsorship platform dedicated to closing the gender income and opportunity gap in professional sports.  

With the 22nd Parity Week grant, 22 organizations across 15 states have received $172,000 in total funding, representing the far-reaching impact these grants are making.  

"The Caitlin Clark Foundation aims to improve the lives of youth through three pillars - education, nutrition, and sports. This aligns with Gainbridge® really well. They definitely caught me by surprise with this grant and I'm thankful to be part of their team," said Clark.

Clark was recently on-site at The ANNIKA participating in the Women’s Leadership Summit and playing in the official Pro-Am in the same group as world No. 1 Nelly Korda and LPGA Hall-of-Famer Annika Sorenstam.
