Those books will in turn be distributed to various children's reading programs."I remember picking out the books from the Scholastic flyer and how empowering that was for as a child, and how motivated I was to read," Clark said in a news release announcing the donation. "I want to help kids have the same experience, to develop their reading skills and open their imaginations to dream big."Her foundation has been a part of multiple major partnerships since it was founded. Hy-Vee has made multiple donations, including $35,690 in honor of the 3,569 points Clark scored in order to set the Division I scoring record as a Hawkeye. Gatorade donated $25,000 to the foundation as part of an NIL deal last year.» Download the free ����vlog app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google PlayGet the latest headlines from ����vlogPacers guard, former Cyclone Tyrese Haliburton shows Caitlin Clark love on her birthdayCaitlin Clark turned 23 on Wednesday. And as a birthday gift of sorts, Tyrese Haliburton offered her some more high praise.Haliburton stars for the Indiana Pacers. Clark stars for the WNBA's Indiana Fever and is that league's reigning rookie of the year (plus is pals with fellow Kansas City Chiefs fan Taylor Swift).Haliburton and Clark have become fast friends, both complimenting the other on multiple occasions. Haliburton went as far as to say in Paris on Wednesday, on the eve of the first of two San Antonio-Indiana matchups here, that she's become a face of the game.Not the women's game. The whole game.“I think when it comes to the game of basketball, she’s probably in the top-five most famous people that are playing now, just in general. That includes our league as well," Haliburton said. "And she handles it with such grace. She's such a cool person. At the end of the day, she’s just a girl from Iowa who is just really good at basketball. And it's really cool to see what she does.”Haliburton says he considers the Fever — not just Clark, the whole organization — to be “rock stars” at the forefront of growing the WNBA.“Anything that I can do to help, I will. But I don’t think she necessarily needs my help," Haliburton said. "I mean, she’s amazing. That group is amazing. To see what they’re doing for women’s basketball as a whole has been really cool. She’s spearheaded that, so I’m just glad to be a part of the journey and watch what she does.”
