Many people dream of realizing extraordinary accomplishments, but a rare few have the tenacity and talent to follow their dream. At just seven years old, Ahwatukee resident Amanda Secord has already begun the journey to set her dream in motion."
-- Kim Van Syoc, Ahwatukee Foothill News
Unfortunately, tenacity and talent aren't always enough. In Amanda's case, lack of funds almost brought her dream of becoming an Olympian figure skater to a screeching halt. Amanda's mother, Kimberly, exhausted her personal finances and looked everywhere for funds before coming to the PWSA for help. Although PWSA didn’t have the money to give to Amanda, the PWSA Board of Directors was determined that Amanda's dream would not die. PWSA held a raffle and -- after three weeks and with the generosity of Valley residents and businesses - raised more than $3,000 to help offset Amanda’s expenses and keep her on the ice. Amanda's situation underscores the serious need for funding for girls' and women's sports in our Valley community.
PWSA believes that every girl should be able to pursue her athletic dreams, and that economics should not be an obstacle to participation. Through its continuing fundraising efforts, PWSA hopes to implement ongoing grants and scholarship programs to help the girls and women of Arizona pursue their dreams through sports.
Research suggests that girls who participate in sports are more likely to experience academic success and graduate from high school than those who do not play sports."
