Legends of the Ball, Inc. Celebrates the Power of Trailblazers and Empowers the Next Generation of Female Athletes

Legends of the Ball, Inc. hosts their Annual Golf Classic to fund scholarships for aspiring female athletes

HOUSTON, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Legends of the Ball, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization, was founded by a group of women who blazed a trail in the realms of sports and education during the Title IX era, AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women/pre-NCAA) era, and the pioneering days of the WBL (first women's professional basketball league). These remarkable women, immediate beneficiaries of Title IX, not only saw their career options expand, but they also recognized the profound impact they could have as coaches and educators.

Legends of the Ball, Inc. was born with a mission rooted in the historic and social relevance of this special TRIAD: Title IX, AIAW, and WBL. Their collective mission is to inspire future generations to break through barriers, realize their full potential, and become leaders for positive change in their communities and beyond.

With an unwavering commitment to their mantra, "Passing it on … Paying it forward," Legends of the Ball, Inc. has been making a significant impact through a variety of initiatives:

• Scholarships for High School Female Student Athletes: By offering scholarships to high school female student athletes, the organization is providing financial support to empower young women to pursue their dreams and excel in both sports and academics.

• Inspiring Speaker Engagements: Through inspirational speaker engagements, they share their stories and insights, motivating individuals of all ages to chase their dreams relentlessly.
