What an incredible afternoon with some incredibly talented athletes.
Last week, WSF hosted an Athlete Ambassador Program (AAP) event in partnership with National Partner Delta Air Lines in Los Angeles. The Olympics-themed event invited girls from several local youth sports organizations to join us for a variety of basketball skills and drills led by the Los Angeles Sparks. 🏀🌟 Additionally, the event featured a star-studded panel conversation moderated by WSF Athlete Ambassador Toni Breidinger, featuring WSF Athlete Ambassadors Diana Flores, Angel mccoughtry and the Sparks’ very own Dearica Hamby who will be competing on Team USA’s women’s 3x3 basketball team at the 2024 #ParisOlympics. The event highlighted Delta’s and WSF’s commitment to supporting girls’ sports and youth development. 💪 Talk about a great day! Thank you to everyone who came and joined us. #KeepPlaying #KeepServing #Paris2024
