Everton Football Club and FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS), the renowned direct-to-consumer healthcare apparel and lifestyle brand, have announced a comprehensive partnership aimed at providing support to the Club's healthcare professionals and the local community.

This collaboration between Everton and FIGS extends its reach both on and off the field. FIGS will provide specialized technical apparel designed specifically for the medical teams of Everton's men's and women's senior squads. Additionally, FIGS branding will feature prominently at Everton's Goodison Park matches, as it did during the recent match against Arsenal. Furthermore, the men's senior team's medical staff have already begun wearing custom-made FIGS apparel during Everton's last two Premier League fixtures.

Off the pitch, FIGS will collaborate closely with Everton's charitable arm, Everton in the Community, to bolster their crucial initiatives, which include delivering healthcare services within the local community. More details about FIGS' partnership with Everton in the Community will be unveiled later this year.

Michelle Gaster Wasserman, FIGS' General Manager, International, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "Teaming up with Everton is a natural alignment for FIGS. Our mission revolves around serving those who serve others, so we are incredibly thrilled to support Everton's dedicated medical staff as they contribute to an elite sporting environment. This partnership provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the exceptional work of various healthcare professionals worldwide, aligning with our international growth strategy. Beyond football, Everton's philanthropic focus closely aligns with FIGS' mission, which is driven by making a meaningful impact with Everton in the Community."

Mark Rollings, Everton's Director of Partnerships, emphasized the shared values between Everton and FIGS, saying, "From our initial discussions with FIGS, it was evident that their values resonate with our own. Their commitment to people-centricity and placing healthcare professionals at the core of their product offerings aligns perfectly with our vision. The support they will provide through this partnership will directly benefit the medical staff responsible for the preparation and rehabilitation of our professional players across both men's and women's teams, as well as those who contribute to the transformative and life-saving work carried out by Everton in the Community. This partnership is truly innovative, marking a first of its kind in the Premier League, and we take pride in being the chosen platform for FIGS to showcase their remarkable work and that of the healthcare professionals they serve."

Richard Kenyon, Everton's Chief Commercial and Communications Officer, expressed his delight, stating, "We are extremely pleased to welcome FIGS as our Official Healthcare Apparel Partner and to continue expanding our network of global partners. I'd like to extend my gratitude to our partnerships team for their dedicated efforts in making this collaboration a reality, and we're honored that FIGS has chosen Everton to support their growth aspirations."
