Serving all 5 boroughs in NYC, PowerPlay offers after-school and summer programs for girls ages 8-18 that emphasize physical fitness and education. While sports act as a launching pad to improve confidence and fitness, PowerPlay also offers mentoring programs and workshops about financial literacy, college and career paths - helping girls become not just players on the field but also fearless leaders in school, in work and in life.

Playing sports was an important outlet for me to stay focused, help me trust my instincts and develop a teamwork mentality.Now I'm hoping I can pay it forward for other girls to reap the same benefits. As PowerPlay says, "If girls don't see it, they won't do it", so I'll be out running the horrible Harlem Hill not once but TWICE in their honor. I would be thrilled with any donations you can make ($5 is great!) and please feel free to pass along to any friends that want to support the cause!
