Opill® Sponsors Home Game Highlights with “Control the Boards”

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Lynx and Opill®, the first and only daily birth control pill available without a prescription in the U.S., announced a partnership designed to increase awareness of reproductive health options among fans.

“We are proud to say that our partnership with Opill®, which tipped off at the beginning of this season, is rooted in destigmatizing the conversation around women’s reproductive health,” said Lynx President of Business Operations Carley Knox. “As with all our partners, Opill brings shared value alignment with the Lynx. In particular, emphasizing access and removing barriers to women’s health care.”

As part of the partnership, fans at Target Center see Opill-sponsored Lynx highlights—celebrating those moments players “Control the Boards.” The brand also has a presence from the court to the concourse.

“For far too long, people had limited control over their birth control options,” said Leila Bahbah, U.S. Women’s Healthcare Lead at Perrigo, Opill’s parent company. “Celebrating when the Lynx ‘Control the Boards’ is a great way to remind fans that Opill® is here, and its birth control that you control.”
