Access Starts Here
The 88 Access Fund exists to remove barriers and open doors for girls in basketball. We believe that talent should never be limited by access, and that every girl deserves the opportunity to step onto the court with confidence, dignity, and support.
We provide essential resources that make participation possible, beginning with high-quality footwear and expanding into direct financial support for training, team participation, and competitive play.
Because access is not just about getting in the game, it is about staying in it.
Our Approach: Access Through the Sole
Basketball begins from the ground up. For many girls, a single barrier—like not having the right shoes- can be the difference between playing and sitting out.
The 88 Access Fund addresses that gap directly.
We deliver curated footwear experiences that center confidence, belonging, and identity, ensuring that every girl we serve not only has what she needs but feels like she belongs in the game.
This is not about charity.
It is about access, with intention.
What We Provide
Sole Access
We provide high-quality basketball footwear to girls who need it most, removing one of the most immediate and visible barriers to participation.
Access Scholars
We offer targeted financial support to help cover the real costs of playing, AAU fees, training, travel, and other essential expenses that often limit opportunity.
Access Circle
We engage our community in sustaining access through giveback initiatives, mentorship, and a shared commitment to keeping more girls in the game
Why It Matters
Too many girls leave sports not because of a lack of ability, but because of a lack of access.
When we remove those barriers, we don’t just change participation, we change confidence, identity, and long-term opportunity.
The 88 Access Fund serves as a gateway, connecting girls to the game and creating pathways into deeper development through aligned programs and community support.
Our Commitment
We are building more than a program; we are building a pathway.
From the first step to full potential, the 88 Access Fund ensures that every girl has a way in and a reason to stay.
Join us in expanding access.
Because every girl deserves her shot.
“I understand that my success isn’t about championships - it’s about bringing together people who were once, and in some ways still are, divided. It’s bigger than basketball”
“My biggest thing would just be: I’m a big celebrate the small wins, but dissect my Ls person. That’s what makes me who I am. If I can dissect those Ls and turn them into lessons in real life - where did I go wrong, how can I fix it? - it helps me celebrate those big wins even more.”
“When I’m on the court, I’m always playing for something bigger and putting on for my city.”
“If you don’t want responsibility, don’t sit in the big chair. To be successful, you must accept full responsibility”
