The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team, Angel City FC (ACFC) have inked a partnership renewal with Sprouts Farmers Market for an additional three years.
The extension represents a continuation of a partnership to assist women’s professional football while additionally encouraging community health and wellbeing.
Sprouts Farmers Market, which is recognised for its emphasis on healthy living and fresh, will continue to have an exclusive presence on the lower back of ACFC’s official jerseys. This comprises all home, away, original, replica, and special edition first-team jerseys that fans can buy.
Alisa Gmelich, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Sprouts, said, “Continuing our partnership with Angel City Football Club is a testament to our shared goals of fostering health and wellness in the communities we serve. We are dedicated to supporting women’s athletics and empowering our communities to eat nutritious food by making healthy choices every day throughout Los Angeles and beyond.”
An important component of this partnership is the Angel City Sponsorship Model, in which Sprouts and ACFC donate 10% of the sponsorship’s proceeds to the Garden School Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that promotes fresh food access and nutrition education for kids. The partnership has already made major contributions to charitable endeavours, such as over 2,500 hours of collective serving to enhance educational garden spaces, over 15,000 hours of nutrition education, and over 86,000 pounds of fresh produce to support food assistance program at LA schools.
The alliance will broaden its community involvement efforts with an initiative to revitalise another local school garden, showcasing its dedication to nutrition education and sustainable food practices.
Julie Uhrman, Co-Founder and President of Angel City FC, commented, “We are excited to renew our partnership with Sprouts as our back-of-jersey sponsor. Their ongoing support enables us to leverage their expertise in health and wellness, benefiting our players, coaches, and fans. Together, we look forward to continuing our lasting impact on our community and the sport.”
