Retired Seattle Storm star Sue Bird is teaming with cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase to donate $25,000 to Techbridge Girls, a nonprofit that promotes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) opportunities for girls.
- The funds will help grow and scale two Techbridge Girls programs, including professional development and facilitator certification, which allows more educators to reach more young students.
- Coinbase is in its third year as a sponsor of the Storm and WNBA. The Storm and Coinbase previously collaborated on NFTs commemorating Bird’s jersey retirement last June.
- Bird, who won four championships in her 20 years with the Storm, retired at the end of the 2022 season. Earlier this year, she joined the team’s ownership group.
