Alexis Ohanian’s 776 Foundation is partnering with The Sports Bra, a bar exclusively dedicated to showing women’s sports, to expand their reach nationally. This comes at a time when there is a growing interest in women’s sports, especially with the record-breaking numbers seen in women’s college basketball. The specific terms of the partnership and investment involved have not been disclosed.
Founder and CEO Jenny Nguyen expressed her excitement about bringing The Sports Bra to cities across the country and beyond, furthering their mission of investing in and celebrating women’s sports. With support from 776, Nguyen envisions a world where The Sports Bra becomes a ubiquitous presence, supporting women athletes and creating vibrant communities centered around women’s sports.
The Sports Bra has garnered a global following since its establishment two years ago in Portland. Nguyen shared her surprise at the rapid impact the bar has had on so many people and expressed a sense of momentum that the project is just beginning. In light of recent milestones in women’s sports such as the record-breaking viewership of the women’s basketball championship game which surpassed the numbers of the NBA finals, Nguyen is encouraged by the support for women’s sports and sees a bright future ahead.
Ohanian emphasized that 100% of returns from this investment will be donated to support
