Black Women In Sport Foundation Now Raising Funds on CafeGive

If you've ever participated in a sport of had a child that participated in a sport you know firsthand what a difference that participation can make. Added confidence from being part of a team, confidence in what your body can do or just added social skills, participation in a sport can significantly impact the life of a young woman.

Since 1992, The Black Women In Sport Foundation (BWSP) has been dedicated to facilitating the involvement of Black women in every aspect of sport in the United States and around the world, through the "hands on" development and management of grass roots level outreach programs.

CafeGive is all about grassroots funding, which is why we believe Black Women In Sport Foundation is such a great "fit" for our community. Their active involvement in sport as an activity, and athleticism, as a way of life, are character-building endeavors that every young woman (and especially black women) all walks of life need. The Foundation is unique in its ability to address the needs and wishes of young black women and girls, and to define the best ways to guide and support them in their path to life-long achievement.

While the Foundation has enjoyed many years of continued success, much more can be done. Young women in urban and rural areas still lack the financial, emotional and spiritual support necessary to rise to the level of their own brillance. The Foundation's future focuses on reaching out to these young women and girls, by incorporating emerging internet technologies, increasing sports clinics, expanding sport opportunities for young black womena nd girls, providing consulting serverices for athletic program development, and devoloping collaborative programs with educational institutions and corporate stakeholders to design, manage and promote athletic programming.

Whether you or someone you know needs new sport equipment, athletic apparel (check out the sports tab) or something from one of the many other CafeGive stores, you can help Black Women In Sport Foundation reach more future athletes by purchasing through CafeGive.
