INDIANAPOLIS — Iowa Hawkeyes basketball star Caitlin Clark isn't a member of the Indiana Fever just yet, but that hasn't stopped her from partnering with the namesake company of her presumed future team's home arena.
Clark, who recently became the all-time leading scorer in the history of NCAA Division I basketball, has agreed to a "multi-year partnership" with Gainbridge to serve as a brand ambassador for the company.
The widely-anticipated No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark joins a roster of Gainbridge athletes including 39-time Grand Slam Champion Billie Jean King and 72-time LPGA Tour winner Annika Sörenstam.
“I am honored to be part of the company’s deepening commitment to advancing opportunities for women, on and off the court, like this visionary new product for women,’’ Clark said in a statement. “Women of all ages need to think about their long-term financial goals. The ParityFlex product is designed to allow women to begin building their financial future now.”
The ParityFlex product is a new "multi-year guaranteed annuity product created for women, by women," the company said.
“We are thrilled to partner with a generational talent like Caitlin Clark,’’ Group 1001 President and CEO Dan Towriss said in a statement. “We look forward to having Caitlin join Billie Jean and Annika to represent Gainbridge as this new product for women is launched and now available on the Gainbridge platform.”
Clark's signature will be included on the No. 26 Gainbridge Honda driven by Colta Herta and No. 77 Group 1001 Camaro driven by Corey Lajoie in IndyCar and NASCAR races, respectively, on March 10.
The Indiana Fever will have the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, which is April 15.
