Caitlin Clark and her foundation are once again partnering with Hy-Vee to give a six-figure donation to combat food insecurity.
Officials from Hy-Vee and the Caitlin Clark Foundation presented a $300,802 donation to the nonprofit organization Feeding America on May 6. The donation comes after a round-up campaign held in March across all Hy-Vee stores, where customers could donate at checkout to local Feeding America partner food banks.
The donation will go directly to 18 Feeding America partner food banks across the Midwest, said Dawn Buzynski, assistant vice president of communications at Hy-Vee.
Hy-Vee and the Caitlin Clark Foundation recently partnered to bring back Clark’s very own Hy-Vee cereal, with proceeds from the cereal going to the foundation.
Does Caitlin Clark have an endorsement deal with Hy-Vee?
Clark signed an NIL deal with Hy-Vee in October 2021 during her sophomore season at Iowa. In April, the company released a limited-edition Gatorade bottle featuring the Indiana Fever star’s likeness on the front.
