Frailty Myths is a non-profit founded by a group of four diverse young women premised on a transformative idea: Every day we work to smash the myth that women are frail and weak. At Frailty Myths, we offer workshops and facilitated conversation on skills that have traditionally been dominated by men, like woodworking, climbing, and sailing. In each workshop, we re-imagine femininity head on; by building methods of empowerment and creating a space for all of our participants to discover just how empowering it is to be strong and physically challenged together. Each Frailty Myths workshop uses experiential learning and pedagogical practices steeped in both research and lived experiences to create a truly transformative program. Our skilled facilitators lead each workshop through guided conversations about the societal myths surrounding femininity, frailty, strength, and power. During each workshop we create strategies to actively dispel these myths and replace them with constructive tools to apply to day-to-day life. At Frailty Myths, we are women of color, we are queer women, and we are young women striving to change the world around us.

At its very simplest, baseball/softball is a game that is played by boys and girls in backyards, parks, playgrounds, and sandlots. It is a time to be outdoors and spend with friends – old and new, an opportunity to be part of a team, and experience the highs of winning and the agony of defeat. This is what childhood is about – to play, be carefree, and just have a chance to a kid. In addition to its pure play element, the is also a powerful vehicle for youth development teaching important life lessons like teamwork, respect, keeping a commitment, and the art of winning and losing. It also helps build self-confidence, offers a constructive alternative for the key after-school hours, and gives kids positive role models in their coaches. It is a game that brings communities together - unifying people from different backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, and socioeconomics as well as offering parents a way to connect with their kids. Founded in 2005, Pitch In For Baseball & Softball (PIFBS) believes in the power of sport to contribute to positive youth development and build community. PIFBS exists to remove equipment as a barrier to participation for underprivileged children around the world. PIFBS serves as an intermediary and connector between fans of the game, industry leaders, and the broader community to the kids who need the support the most. Over the past 20 years, PIFBS has donated $40 million in equipment to help more than 2.4 million children play ball in every state in the U.S. and 119 countries globally.

Participants pay tuition and racing fees to train to become future ski racing champions. There are approximately 150 participants in the program. Some of those who graduated are now competing at the collegiate level. TAS operations are funded largely through tuition and fundraising events, and within this 2016-2017 Sponsors play a critical role in overall team finances. TAS accomplishments require more than training and hard work on the part of athletes, parents and coaches, they also depend on sponsorships from local businesses to offset a significant portion of expenses. Funds raised go toward improving our training and race equipment, both of which are critical to the continued development of our program. Importantly, sponsorship funds go to scholarships to skiers whom otherwise would be unable to race.
