SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry has made Azzi Fudd his Splash Sister.
Curry is bringing the star UConn freshman basketball player into his SC30 Inc. brand in a unique, wide-ranging partnership that will support her successes both on and off the court as the nation’s top recruit builds her collegiate career — a multidimensional name, image and likeness contract.

He wants to help Fudd show the world who she is through not only her personality and passions but also by providing a platform and financial backing to share her values and ideas.
“Azzi Fudd is the best choice to start a brand relationship like this because she is the next face of women’s basketball and has been a part of SC30 Inc. and the Curry Brand family since she was an invitee to the All-American Camp,” Curry said.
Two-time NBA MVP Curry and his SC30 team plan to give Fudd guidance through professional services and growth opportunities to develop her brand. That will mean chances to host and attend events and be part of new brand partnerships, as well as to deliver her personal social impact initiatives while additionally promoting and being involved in some of those dear to Curry and his family.
