Programs

In 2016,the foundation provided three softball teams with an average of 15 girls between the ages of 14 - 18 access to nationally recognized coaches in a safe and secure environment, with state-of-the-art facilities to prepare them to compete at the highest levels. The foundation also helps girls better prepare for college by providing individualized, one-on-one academic tutoring sessions in math, science, and language arts, as well as, act/sat prep courses to all players. For every three hours of practice, the girls are required to attend one hour of academic tutoring.
