Black Girl Vitamins Becomes Official Vitamin Sponsor of Chicago State University Athletics

Black Girl Vitamins partners with Chicago State University Athletics as the official vitamin sponsor with a spotlight on CSU’s women’s basketball team.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Black Girl Vitamins (BGV), a wellness company dedicated to the health of Black women, is pleased to announce a partnership with Chicago State University (CSU) Athletics as the official vitamin sponsor of Cougars Athletics with a spotlight on CSU’s women’s basketball team. The partnership highlights the strength and resilience of Black women while marking a historic collaboration between a Predominantly-Black Institution (PBI) and a Black-owned business.

Through the partnership, Black Girl Vitamins will supply vitamins to the CSU Athletics department, support Chicago State’s athletic events including Homecoming, and establish a social media and commercial presence on CSU’s streaming channels.

The partnership between Black Girl Vitamins and CSU comes at a pivotal moment — as CSU completed the first phase of the school’s intercollegiate sports expansion by adding a women’s triathlon program and is fundraising to introduce FCS Division I football potentially. This partnership is a powerful step towards equity, inclusion, and empowerment for Black women, and addressing historical underrepresentation, underservice, and underfunding of women's sports, especially within collegiate basketball.

Chicago State Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Corry Irvin states, “CSU’s partnership with Black Girl Vitamins is incredibly meaningful to our team and program. It’s not just about a sponsorship; it’s a testament to the strength, resilience, and unity of Black women. This partnership speaks volumes to our players about the importance of health and wellness in their lives both on and off the court, and we’re excited to bring this impactful brand to our community.”
