A letter from the founders: 

Hi! Meghan and Sam here! First off, we'd like to extend a big thank you for dropping by our campaign page. Your support means the world to us. Now, let's dive into why we're so passionate about empowHERed. We understand the challenges of navigating this journey alone. Countless times, we've found ourselves as the lone women in the room. In those situations, our valuable contributions often went unnoticed or were downplayed. We've faced sexual harassment, dismissive superiors, and more.

While a career in sports can be immensely rewarding, it can also stretch your limits, impact your mental well-being, and make you question yourself. That's where we come in.

Our vision for the empowHERed community is a robust support network that fosters both professional growth and self-care. We're here to stand by your side, ready to tackle these challenges together. Exciting times are ahead as we embark on this journey with you!

Finally, we want to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who contributes to empowHERed. Your generous donations will not only address our initial costs but will also play a vital role in generating additional avenues for women in sports, including sponsored job shadowing, travel assistance, and more.  Your invaluable support in us is truly appreciated. Let's collaborate to empower more women to make their mark in the world of sports!
