Access Starts Here
The Sole Access Fund is the annual giving fund that powers 88 Solez's mission. Contributions let us invest where support is needed most, ensuring girls have access to meaningful opportunities through our Whole Girl Basketball Player Development™ model.
Every gift helps strengthen one or more of our three pillars.
Off-Court Builds Confidence.
Your support funds monthly workshops and quarterly parent forums focused on identity, confidence, leadership, mental wellness, financial literacy, and personal growth. These experiences are designed to equip girls and the adults who support them with tools that extend far beyond the basketball court.
Sole Access Fund Removes Barriers.
Your investment helps reduce financial barriers that can prevent girls from participating in basketball. Support may include registration assistance, basketball equipment, sneakers, travel assistance, and other participation-related needs, so more girls can stay in the game.
Beyond Expands Opportunities.
Your generosity helps create meaningful exposure experiences that inspire girls to dream bigger. Sole Access Fund support helps make college campus visits, WNBA game experiences, and our annual Dawn Staley Basketball Camp Experience more accessible by offsetting program and travel expenses whenever possible. Our goal is to offer these opportunities at a nominal cost to participating families so financial circumstances never decide a girl's ability to participate.
Invest in Girls. Elevate the Game.
Every contribution to the Sole Access Fund invests in girls through basketball. Whether your gift supports a confidence-building workshop, helps remove financial barriers, or expands access to transformative experiences, your generosity helps girls grow as athletes, students, leaders, and confident young women.
