United Airlines Becomes Founding Partner of Golden State Valkyries

United Airlines has signed a multi-year partnership with the Golden State Valkyries, becoming the team's official airline and a founding partner ahead of their inaugural WNBA season. This collaboration will feature community engagement initiatives, including the 'Soar with Her' mentorship program and 'Connecting Communities,' which aim to promote youth sports and increase access for girls in the Bay Area. The partnership will also include digital signage at the Chase Center and a dedicated social media content series. United's commitment to the Valkyries reflects a broader investment in women's sports, aligning with their community-first programming strategy. As part of this initiative, the airline plans to hire 1,200 new employees in 2025 to support its expanding operations at San Francisco International Airport. The Valkyries' inaugural game is scheduled for May 16, 2025, marking an exciting chapter for women's basketball in the region.
