Stacey Ullrich talks about Under Armour winning a 2019 ESPN Humanitarian Award thanks to the company’s collaboration with RISE and the NBA on Building Bridges Through Basketball – a 10-week community leadership program that uses basketball to unite local youth and law enforcement in cities across the country. The program teaches topics like identity, diversity, perspective taking and conflict resolution. Stacey also talks about some of the incredible work Under Armour is doing to better communities in places like Baltimore, how companies and brands consider an athlete’s social activism when deciding to invest and work with them and her favorite stories of athletes who she has personally seen impact the lives of young people, from Steph Curry to Misty Copeland.
