In this story:


Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul is a superstar on and off the court. 

Paul and his team have partnered with Koia, a plant-based protein company to release a limited edition cinnamon horchata flavor. 

100% of the money raised will go to funding student scholarships at HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) through the Chris Paul Family Foundation.

The limited edition protein can be found on Walmart.com for an exclusive amount of time, as it went live on June 8. The custom packaging will feature Paul. 

“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to continue our partnership with Chris Paul and to team up with Support Black Colleges for this limited-edition collaboration introducing Koia Protein Cinnamon Horchata to Walmart.com customers,” Chris Hunter, co-founder and CEO of Koia, said in a press release.

“Making plant-based beverage options available to everyone, especially for those who have the least access, is core to Koia’s mission.”

“Koia’s mission and values are perfectly aligned with my efforts to continue breaking down the barriers to success for HBCU students,” said Paul in a statement. 

“This product collaboration and its community giveback strategy is a great example of how partnership can make real impact. I’m proud to be an investor in Koia and look forward to continuing to work with the company to find ways to serve communities in need.”
