Four years ago FC Gold Pride star Brandi Chastain, Olympic gold medalist Julie Foudy, and former GM of the San Jose CyberRays Marlene Bjornsrud founded the Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative (BAWSI). Its mission is to "create programs and partnerships through which women athletes bring health, hope and wholeness to the community."
Recently, the FC Gold Pride team made BAWSI one of the FC Gold Pride Charities, its community-based nonprofit organization that looks to mentor young girls through participation in soccer-related events. Just last week, the Gold Pride visited Bowers Elementary School in Santa Clara, CA to talk about soccer, exercise, and health. I believe handing out free tickets to the opening day game was also in the agenda! Here are some pictures of the event (courtesy of BAWSI):
