College Basketball Star Paige Bueckers Expands Portfolio with DoorDash Job Addition
Paige Bueckers Takes the Reigns: A Game-Changing Collaboration with DoorDash
Paige Bueckers, the first-ever athlete to serve as a Creative Director for DoorDash, is making history. This groundbreaking partnership marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the No. 1 WNBA Draft pick as she embarks on her professional basketball journey with the Dallas Wings.
Slated to commence during the 2025-2026 WNBA season, this multi-year venture finds its kick-off during the May 16, 2025, WNBA tip-off game. In an innovative collaboration with Playa Society, Bueckers will unveil an exclusive T-shirt to celebrate the spirit of women's sports, available on playasociety.com from May 16, 10 AM ET, until May 18.
With a heart full of passion and excitement, Bueckers shared, "DoorDash has been a staple during my college years and, as a pro, it hasn't been any different. Even my late-night post-draft meal was courtesy of DoorDash! I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to partner with DoorDash and serve as their Creative Director, and I can't wait for everyone to see the T-shirt I helped design to celebrate the beginning of the WNBA season."
Renaldo Chapman, DoorDash's VP of Brand and Creative, echoed the enthusiasm, stating, "Paige is more than just a basketball superstar; she embodies innovation and community spirit. At DoorDash, we make every effort to be the go-to 24/7 life assistant for fans, so teaming up with Paige feels like a natural fit. We're excited to explore this partnership further, tackling unique and unexpected initiatives in women's sports for years to come."
This collaboration is merely the beginning of a long-term endeavor, with plans to address food insecurity and create additional fan merchandise in the future.
Stepping onto the court, Bueckers has already begun to make a name for herself among the Wings. In her debut game against the Las Vegas Aces, she posted 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist in 23 minutes. Following this, she shone brightly in a dominating 119-52 win over Japan's Toyota Antelopes, contributing 9 points and 6 assists.
Bueckers' impressive rookie season follows a stellar collegiate career at UConn. Over 123 games, she averaged 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.6 assists, shooting 53.1% from the field and 42.3% from three-point range. She led her team to a 12th NCAA national championship, garnering numerous accolades along the way, including the Wade Trophy and the Nancy Lieberman Award.
With her electric playmaking abilities on display and a clear vision for the future, Bueckers is poised to reshape the landscape of women's basketball, both on and off the court.
