From Reddit to Women’s Sports: Alexis Ohanian Supports The Sports Bra, Expanding its Reach Across the Country
Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, is excited to support The Sports Bra, an Oregon-based bar that exclusively shows women’s sports. This expansion comes at a time when there is growing interest in women’s sports, especially with the record-breaking numbers seen in women’s college basketball. The Sports Bra has garnered a global following since its establishment by founder and CEO Jenny Nguyen two years ago. Nguyen expressed her surprise at the rapid impact the bar has had on so many people and expressed a sense of momentum that the project is just beginning.
With the support of Alexis and his organization, 776 Foundation, Nguyen plans to bring The Sports Bra to cities across the country and beyond. 100% of the returns from this investment will be donated to support the development of future generations of women athletes. Nguyen envisions a world where The Sports Bra becomes a ubiquitous presence, supporting women athletes and creating vibrant communities centered around women’s sports. Ohanian emphasized that 776 is excited to support The Sports Bra as a space where everyone can come together to celebrate the achievements of women athletes.
