Caitlin Clark continues to make a name for herself, donating up to $88,000 to Iowa charities
WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark continues to make waves outside of basketball. In such a short time among the elite, she has established herself as a great figure to follow.
Such is her accomplishment that she even has her own Caitlin Clark Foundation, which aims to improve the education of young people in various areas such as sports, reading and nutrition.
Caitlin undoubtedly strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people through these initiatives, which are in line with her values and the experiences that led her to the success she enjoys today.
On this occasion, she is no exception and has a big surprise in store for the Iowa community.
Caitlin continues to change lives
Today, the Caitlin Clark Foundation announced four $22,000 donations to Iowa charities that have played a critical role in her journey to success.
Those places are:
- University of Iowa Children’s Hospital
- Coralville Community Food Pantry (CCFP)
- Boys and Girls Club of the Corridor
- Special Olympics Iowa – East Central
“One of my favorite things about Iowa City is the way the community is connected and how everyone supports each other. This is something I have felt during my time here and it is important to me that I stay connected. I am proud to be a part of the efforts of each of these organizations and the meaningful impact they have on the people of Iowa,” Caitlin Clark said in a statement.
Mary Coffin, president of the foundation, also expressed her excitement about the donations: “The Foundation is thrilled to support these organizations as they align with our mission. Caitlin is an example to all of us of the impact one interaction can have and the legacy of uplifting others.”
The celebration doesn’t stop there
As if that weren’t enough, on February 2,Caitlin Clark will retire her iconic number 22 under the glare of the Carver-Hawkeye Arena lights as the Iowa Hawkeyes take on USC in a poetic tribute to Caitlin, celebrating her triumphs and remembering her everlasting mark on the Iowa soul. It will be quite a spectacle, with all the credit due to what Clark has accomplished.
