The WNBA continues to be leaders in social advocacy, and the “No Space for Hate” movement is just the latest evolution of the league’s emphasis on advancing social justice and addressing issues that have an outsized impact on members of the WNBA community.
Continuing the WNBA’s tradition of utilizing the Commissioner’s Cup as a platform for social impact, teams across the league are once again partnering with local community organizations to drive meaningful change. Each team selects a charitable organization to support, and with every Commissioner’s Cup game they win, additional funds are awarded to their chosen partner.
