Quick Glance: The Sports Bra Announces Franchising Plans with Investment from Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian
  • The Sports Bra, a now-iconic Portland destination that made history as the first women’s sports bar in the world, has announced plans to franchise and expand into other cities.

  • Investment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian - the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams - will fund the effort in partnership with Ohanian’s 776 Foundation. All returns from the investment will be invested back into girls’ and women’s sports via the foundation, the Sports Bra wrote in a post on Instagram.

  • Owner Jenny Nguyen opened The Sports Bra in Portland in 2022, and the business thrived in a city and state that has consistently showcased strong support for women’s sports.

  • But the growing hype around women’s sports is not unique to Portland. The popularity of women’s professional sports has seen a significant national uptick thanks, in part, to the emerging stardom of athletes like Sophia Smith, Caitlin Clark and others.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser
  • Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

  • The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

  • The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

  • Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.
