Chelsea Clinton, Jenna Bush Hager, Others Join Spirit Investment Group
The Washington Spirit have announced a diverse body of over thirty new investors. Among the ranks are former USWNT goalkeeper Briana Scurry, Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes, Chelsea Clinton, and Jenna Bush Hager. Silver Spring born Dawes and former Spirit assistant coach Scurry join an elite cohort of female athlete investors including Angel City FC's Serena Williams, Mia Hamm, and Abby Wambach, and most recently, Naomi Osaka for the North Carolina Courage.
In December, the Spirit added Y. Michele Kang to the ownership group. Kang is the Co-Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Cognosante LLC, a Virginia based company.
Kang joined owners Steve Baldwin and Bill Lynch. Lynch founded the Spirit in 2013 and sold the majority of the team to Baldwin in late 2018.
