Vernon reflected on that moment the following night, standing alongside Lynx President of Business Operations, Carley Knox. The tattooed indie folk star who's collaborated with the likes of Taylor Swift and the blazer-clad businesswoman are opposites on paper. But both find purpose and joy in basketball and music.

The "2 A Billion" campaign includes a pledge of $250,000 in grants from Vernon to 10 local nonprofits focused on gender equity, youth empowerment and domestic violence prevention. The partnership launched Monday night with a "Music Meets Basketball" clinic at Mayo Clinic Square, where Vernon joined Lynx guard Natisha Hiedeman and Pro Basketball Hall of Famer Seimone Augustus for a conversation and skills session with girls from She Rock She Rock, a local music nonprofit.
