Dear <<Informal Salutation>>:

It is our honor to give the gift of our women’s history to schools and communities throughout our state all year long. This holiday season, would you consider giving a gift of _________ to support our work?

In this 50th anniversary year of Title IX, we celebrated and honored the work, achievements, and spirit of Women in Sports: we inducted 4 more amazing women into our Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame and highlighted another 17 incredible female athletes as Spotlight Recipients in our Walk of Fame. We welcomed 565 people to our Ceremony on October 20th. at the Connecticut Convention Center to celebrate these women and now we want to spread these stories to thousands more.

Our Inductees are not just leaders in our state, but they are prominent on the national and international stage:

Will you join us in sharing their stories and continuing the inspiring work of making these accomplishments known to students and community members throughout our state through our Education Programs, Talks on the Road, and virtual Hall of Fame?

Your donation ensures that these stories are shared and incorporated among today’s news and classroom curricula. Help us “level the playing the field”, as our new program on Women in Sports is titled and begin to help our young females truly, in the words of Billy Jean King, “see it to be it”
