What others say
"Thank you for all of your hard work and talent. You've made me a fan of the game"
Radiant Bettina,
New BWPC Supporter
"“It was great to see the BWPC on the ground in Kansas City activating throughout championship weekend and connecting with our shared sports community in really meaningful ways. Their presence not only helped us celebrate the culmination of another incredible season but also underscored the critically important role their work and advocacy has played in shaping the NWSL into what it is today.”

The BWPC is actively engaged in a variety of ongoing initiatives - including #ElevateTheNext, Get Girls to Games, GRASS, the Mini-Pitch Initiative, and The Game Needs Her. At the heart of each program is a shared commitment: to create more physical spaces and expand access for communities across the country to engage in the beautiful game of soccer. Through these efforts, BWPC also provides the mentorship and support necessary for youth and organizations to thrive - both on and off the field.
