DuPont Announces Sponsorship of WNBA’s Elena Delle Donne
Wilmington, Delaware (PRWEB) July 03, 2013 -- DuPont announced today that the multi-national science company has joined Nike and Genesis Today as a sponsor of Elena Delle Donne, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA)/Chicago Sky player, who is coming off one of the best rookie debuts in WNBA history.
Elena has a long-standing interest in good nutrition and health, which is a good fit with DuPont’s commitment to feeding the world, one of the global challenges on which the company is concentrating its collaborative science-based problem-solving.
“This is a great match for DuPont and particularly the Nutrition & Health business which focuses on delivering food ingredients that are packed with nutrition, improving health and providing great taste,” said http://www..dupont.com/corp/en-us/our-company/businesses/nutrition-and-health/binetti.html [Craig F. Binetti __title__ ], president of DuPont Nutrition & Health. “We’re eager to work with Elena to bring attention to the importance of good nutrition as a gateway to good health.”
According to Elena Delle Donne, “While DuPont is a global company, they’re headquartered in Wilmington, Del. That’s my hometown, which makes this association especially meaningful to me. I am really looking forward to partnering with DuPont to bring attention to topics I care about so much.”
DuPont is using the remainder of this year to develop a plan over a three-year period, starting in 2014, which will align this exciting sponsorship with the company’s efforts to bring first-rate science to the myriad challenges of feeding populations in both developed and developing nations. DuPont will announce the details of its three-year plan in January 2014.
