“I'm making this donation to honor the memory of my friend's mother. She was an influential trailblazer for female rights and equality. Her spirit lives on through her wonderful daughter. I've learned so much through her. Your foundation is a shining example of their values. As a former wrestler and now a youth co-ed coach, I want to combine my passion with an institution that empowers girls.
All because of these two extraordinary ladies.
Thank you for making a positive impact in many lives.”

Girls and young women participating in wrestling have grown rapidly in recent years, with over 60,000 young women participating at the start of the 2024 academic year. Wrestling helps girls become confident leaders who display determination, strength of character, and teamwork skills.
Lack of funding is an obstacle for many young female athletes who want to participate in wrestling. We need to provide more education and support to raise awareness about the benefits of wrestling and encourage more participation. This will help create future leaders who can work towards global prosperity and well-being.
Join us in empowering girls and women through wrestling at Wrestle Like A Girl.
Onward for change,
Sally Roberts
CEO and co-founder
