? Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) released concerning new data on the rising level of physical inactivity in adults, reporting that 31%?of adults do not get the physical activity needed to thrive, with women at least 5% less likely to participate in sports/movement than men. As a member of the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI), Nike is proud to be teaming up with world’s biggest sporting goods companies to drive global changes that will lead to more movement for all.?We can have greater impact when we work together, and it will require all of us, alongside public sector policy makers and the World Health Organization, to address this global physical inactivity crisis. ? At Nike, we’re dedicated to doing this work every day. From initiatives like the Nike Community Ambassador program to our collaboration with our network of local, national and global community partners, Nike teammates are helping?to increase access and opportunity for inclusive, fun, youth-centered play, leading with girls. This is also why we’re so focused on revolutionizing the future of coaching. We know great coaches are gamechangers. ? Everyone deserves an opportunity to fall in love with movement and to live their best, healthiest lives. And, that begins with youth.? ?

In celebration of BGCCI’s 60th anniversary, the Caitlin Clark Foundation made a surprise gift to our Clubs including a $22,000 donation as well as Nike hoodies, winter hats and gloves, basketballs, jump ropes, and more. The Caitlin Clark Foundation’s mission is to uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sport—three pillars Caitlin believes were foundational in her success. At BGCCI, we continue to do whatever it takes to foster the next generation of leaders with caring mentors, safe spaces, and quality programs. These programs are designed to empower our youth to excel in school while living healthy lifestyles. With the support of the Caitlin Clark Foundation, more youth within the Des Moines metro have access to opportunities that develop good habits early on and to lead to better health and quality of life throughout adulthood. We are so grateful to Caitlin, the Clark family and all of our community partners who make great futures possible for our Club members.

22 is a special number, especially today…join me in wishing basketball star, #CaitlinClark, a happy 22nd birthday!? ? Great teammates like Caitlin are hard to come by, and she’s a shining example on and off the court. The State Farm team and I are fortunate to know her and work with her! Caitlin is an inspiration for young women and aspiring athletes everywhere. I am also proud of her Good Neighbor Spirit on and off the court too that symbolizes our core values. ? In 2023, Caitlin brought her A-Game to many SF initiatives, embodying what it means to be a Good Neighbor through her hard work, commitment to excellence, and willingness to ‘assist’. From being an MVP in the ‘shoot’ for our "Right Kind of Magic” campaign to taking a well-deserved coffee break with Jenny Taft from Big Ten Network and Jake from State Farm at the Big Ten Conference – her impact was felt throughout.? ? And if that’s not impressive enough – she was named Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year, she won the John R. Wooden Award, and she took home the Best Female College Athlete ESPY this past year alone! ? We wish Caitlin a wonderful birthday and celebrate her amazing accomplishments thus far and look forward to many more in the year to come. If you are not watching her and some of your favorite women sports this year, you should. I hope it inspires you like it does me. ? #OurStateFarm #ShesGotThis #LikeAGoodNeighbor #SportsPartnership? ? https://lnkd.in/gWGbCjWC ? ? ?
