I am so lucky to be part of an AMAZING organization and team. The Women's Sports Foundation is an educational, nonprofit organization founded in 1974, dedicated to promoting girls and women in sports and fitness. This is the organization in which I was awarded a $3,000 grant (Travel & Training Fund) to continue to pursue my athletic dream of making the 2016 Olympics.
They are doing amazing things (yet again) to continue to help aspiring female athletes achieve their goals. This time, the campaign was called "WSF Athlete Face Off" in which top athletes from all sports were pit against one another to see who could raise the most money for the Travel & Training Fund.

The Story...
WE SUPPORT THE PURSUIT OF GREATNESS
The Women's Sports Foundation is a voice and advocate for champion women athletes around the world. This year, our athletes asked, "What can we do to pay it forward to the next generation?" And so they joined together and created the WSF ATHLETE FACE OFF.
In the spirit of thanks-giving, champion athletes will "Face Off" in head-to-head fundraisers for the Women's Sports Foundation's Travel & Training Program (T&T) to ensure that the next generation of female athletes reach their full potential – an experience that prepares them for leadership now and in the future.
T&T helps aspiring individual athletes and teams achieve even higher performance and rankings - regionally, nationally and internationally - by providing direct financial assistance. Since 1984, we have impacted the lives of more than 4,000 women. T&T recipients include figure skaters Michelle Kwan and Kristi Yamaguchi, water polo playerBrenda Villa, gymnast Gabby Douglas, swimmer Mallory Weggemann and the USA Women's Softball and Boxing teams, to name a few.
Help your hero leave a legacy!
WSF is proud to partner with Gatorade© on its Travel & Training Program.
