Help Support these FIVE (5) Women in Sports

Join us in raising $5,000 in 5 days for 5 of SBC's female students

February 2nd is National Girls & Women in Sports Day and the 50th Anniversary of Title IX!

We are celebrating women in the sports industry involved with SBC + honoring all of the women who have paved the way for future generations. National Girls and Women in Sports Day acknowledges the accomplishments of female athletes and those who work in the industry while honoring the progress and continued struggle for equality for women in sports.

Did you notice the $58.50?

Women who were full-time, year-round employees made 82.3 cents for every dollar men made in 2019, based on median earning data from the Census Current Population Survey. That means women are paid 17.7% less than men, earning $10,157 less than men. Black and Hispanic women are most affected by the wage gap, especially when compared to non-Hispanic white men, who make up the largest demographic segment of the workforce (Source: Business Insider).

OUR STUDENTS

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than supporting our SBC students! We are featuring these FIVE (5) college students and helping to alleviate some of the financial burdens of attaining a degree (college is expensive!) --

2. Marygrace Gliane University of California, Los Angeles '25
3. Sarah Brown Queens University of Charlotte '25
4. Laura Vences Claremont McKenna College '22

We are asking you to consider committing funds towards these amazing women and help make the sports industry a more equitable industry. We are always grateful for your support and willingness to advocate for the next generation of sport business professionals!

Did you know?

• 30-40% of undergraduate students in sports management programs are women
• For women working in sports, 60% of female sports leaders report they have experiences sex discrimination in the work place.
• In the Olympic Games, women did not make up more than 10 percent of participants until 1952; that ratio has crept up since then. Women were not allowed to compete in every sport until 2012, and it was not until 2014 that the I.O.C.’s planning agenda included working “to achieve 50 percent female participation in the Olympic Games."
