Partnership with Trader Joe’s
The Bay FC Mini Tote Bag giveaway and special match day experiences are made possible through Bay FC’s partnership with Trader Joe’s. This partnership aims to promote children’s nutrition and positively impact local communities beyond the field by tackling food insecurity in the Bay Area. These initiatives include Bay FC’s Corner Kick Promotion powered by Trader Joe’s, which will donate $250 – up to a maximum of $25,000 – to Alameda County Community Food Bank for every Bay FC corner kick earned this season. Donations will support a local organization dedicated to empowering Bay Area youth by ensuring access to nutritious meals and opportunities to be active in their everyday lives. Trader Joe’s also provides healthy snacks to youth community groups at each Bay FC home match.
Last season, Trader Joe’s joined Sutter Health, Visa, and Sixth Street as Bay FC’s jersey sponsors with Sutter Health as the front-of-kit sponsor, Visa as a jersey sleeve sponsor, and Sixth Street now placed on the back top of the jersey, previously placed on the lower back prior to Trader Joe’s partnership. Trader Joe’s partnership represents the first time the national chain of neighborhood grocery stores has partnered with a NWSL team.
