Athletes Unlimited joins National Business Coalition for Child Care

The Coalition stems from the Marshall Plan for Moms’ latest report, which examines the impact of the current ecosystem of child care supports in the U.S. on companies and workers, and how the private sector can play a role in addressing child care needs. It includes members who have an interest in pursuing solutions that equitably provide child care supports for employees, demonstrate willingness to take action, increase transparency by sharing their policies, data, and best practices, and speak out publicly on the importance of child care to the U.S. economic health and competitiveness and normalize the challenges of working parents.

AU joins other organizations, including Archewell, Care.com, Fast Retailing, Gibson Dunn, Patagonia and Synchrony in helping to usher in an era of more equitable, productive, and sustainable workplaces that will unleash the full potential of their employees and the broader American economy.

“Athletes Unlimited is honored to be one of an innovative group of inaugural organizations committed to improving the rights of working moms,” said Jon Patricof, CEO and Co-Founder of Athletes Unlimited. “As a network of player-driven sports leagues comprised of four pro women’s sports, we recognize the challenges of working moms in sports and are determined to continue to improve their experience by providing child care services during season helping them continue to play and spend quality time with their families.”
