�We are thrilled to have Kay Jewelers join the Mystics as a corporate partner,� Bibb stated. �Their commitment to the Mystics and to the youth of Washington, DC, is appreciated as their support will allow the Mystics to reach more children than ever before. We anticipate the fourth season of the MYSL to be the best to date thanks in large part to our partners at Kay Jewelers, the Greater Washington Sports Alliance and The DC Department of Parks & Recreation.�
