CHampions for change 

Women Leaders in Sports is proud to announce the launch of the "Champions for Change" campaign, which highlights our current individual pledge donors and our new pledge-giving level, the PowHER Pledge.

5n5 Fund for Impact

In 2014, in celebration of Women Leaders in Sports 35th anniversary, the organization launched the 5n5 Campaign, a circle of donors pledging a gift of $5,000 over five years to support the Opportunity Fund. A very sincere thanks goes to Vicky Chun, Director of Athletics at Yale University, for launching this member-driven campaign.  

To make a 5n5 pledge, email Kristin Crites. 5n5 payments can be made on a monthly, quarterly, annual, or one-time basis.
