Founding support
Help her get
in the game.
A girl may be ready to join the team. Her family may be ready to cheer her on. But when registration, uniforms, equipment, and training add up, getting on the field or court isn’t always that simple.
She Holds Court is being built to help girls afford to play.
We’re bringing together founding supporters who believe that a girl’s opportunity to participate in sports shouldn’t depend on what her family can afford.
