Please join me in raising funds for an amazing organization, PowerPlay, whose mission is to advance the lives of girls through sports, helping them grow physically, emotionally, and academically stronger.
Through the pandemic, PowerPlay has continued to serve over 1,800 girls and young women annually; 98% of our participants are girls of color and over 90% receive free lunch at school.
And now during COVID, our participants - many are within the demographic most severely affected by the virus - need opportunities to get active and engage with their peers and strong adult role models more than ever. They also need holistic college- and career-readiness support, in addition to social-emotional learning. PowerPlay has ramped up its efforts to help girls & gender non-conforming youth since the coronavirus hit as they would not have this option without PowerPlay.
