Washington, D.C. – Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) announced their arrangement with The Clorox Company, who will be recognized as the “Exclusive Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sanitizing Product Partner of the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, Washington Mystics and Capital One Arena.”
As part of the collaboration, Clorox will sponsor the “Capital One Arena Clean Team” by providing product to help maintain cleanliness from concourses to seating areas and beyond for every event at Capital One Arena. Clorox will also receive in-game mentions during each of the team’s regular season home contests and have a digital presence on the social media accounts of Capital One Arena, the Capitals, Wizards and Mystics.
As part of this arrangement, the Wizards and Clorox will collaborate on a community impact program. In February, the Wizards celebrated Black History Month in part by supporting local Black-owned businesses with the launch of their Shop Black DMV campaign. The goal of the campaign is to educate, amplify, support, and celebrate Black-owned businesses throughout the DMV.
