Seattle Storm WNBA Team Partners with Planned Parenthood

HeadlineJul 19, 2017

And in Seattle, the WNBA’s Seattle Storm basketball team has partnered with Planned Parenthood to raise funds and fight back against a Republican-led attack on the women’s health organization. On Tuesday night, the Storm donated $5 from each ticket purchased for its game against the Chicago Sky toward Planned Parenthood, and Storm players joined a rally ahead of the game. In a statement, Planned Parenthood said, “Right now, we are seeing a relentless effort to roll back progress for women. Being in this fight alongside our supporters and the Storm is an honor.”
