Access Starts Here
The Sole Access Fund is the annual giving fund that powers 88 Solez's mission. Contributions provide the flexibility to 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 helps provide monthly workshops and quarterly parent forums that focus 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 that more girls have the opportunity to stay in the game.
Beyond Expands Opportunities.
Your generosity helps create meaningful exposure experiences that inspire girls to dream bigger. Support from the Sole Access Fund helps make college campus visits, WNBA game experiences, and our annual D1 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 that financial circumstances are never the deciding factor in a girl's ability to participate.
Invest in Girls. Elevate the Game.
Every contribution to the Sole Access Fund is an investment 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.
