"We are building the Valkyries with the intention of creating legacy on and off the court," said Valkyries President Jess Smith. "JPMorganChase has had alignment with us every step of the way in building a powerful, state-of-the-art franchise that inspires fandom, drives impact, and will compete for championships. This partnership enhances each of our goals with their expertise, care, and tenacity for driving culture through sport.

"JPMorganChase has been a longstanding supporter of female athletes and we are thrilled to partner with the Valkyries to help build a world-class organization that is going to push the game for athletes and fans," said JPMorganChase Chief Marketing Officer Carla Hassan. "We could not have scripted a better partnership, one that reinforces our commitment to advance and economically empower the Bay Area, expands on our work to drive financial literacy in the region, and helps us more deeply engage with our customers."

As part of the partnership, JPMorganChase and the Valkyries will collaborate on several Bay Area community initiatives that will have a direct positive impact on financial health, equity in the workplace, career growth, and women-owned small businesses. More than 7,000 JPMorganChase employees serve more than 3 million consumer and business customers in the region, and with a focus on career skills, small business expansion and entrepreneurship, financial health, and neighborhood revitalization, JPMorganChase is committed to helping build a stronger, more inclusive economy for generations to come.

Originating from Norse mythology, Valkyries are a host of warrior women who are fearless and unwavering - flying through air and sea alike. This brand is Golden State's modern interpretation of Valkyries: strong, bold, and fierce.
