Caitlin Clark announces heartwarming off-court initiative amid Indiana Fever’s 2026 WNBA season
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has taken a fantastic step away from the WNBA court to help the communities that support her the loudest. Clark is having a terrific WNBA season, averaging 22.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has taken her off-court work to new heights as the 23-12 team prepares for a possible run to the WNBA Finals. Having averaged 22.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 8.3 assists this season, Clark is now focusing her efforts on uplifting the communities that support her the most with a new program.
Partnering with her foundation, the Caitlin Clark Foundation, and Scholastic, Clark has launched "Turning Pages, Healing Hearts," a program aimed at boosting morale in children's hospitals. The program will see the installation of branded book vending machines at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis, providing children with the opportunity to pick out books and crafting materials for arts and crafts sessions.
The initiative will later extend to UnityPoint Health Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.
Clark's commitment to charitable work has been consistent since her entry into the WNBA. Her foundation has run annual back-to-school programs, distributing backpacks and school supplies, which have been organized twice since she began her WNBA career. Additionally, her foundation collaborated with Scholastic's United States of Readers program to distribute 22,000 new children's books to under-resourced schools, hospitals, and nonprofits in Iowa and Indiana.
This latest initiative builds upon her previous efforts to support educational initiatives and nutritional programs.
