Oshman s prides itself on keeping an inventory of hard to find items that enable female participants to perform at their peak. More than 70,000 girls have benefited from these funds. Historically, the funds have been used to aid groups and teams as varied as basketball, bowling, cheerleading, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and more.
Elite athletes conduct the ceremonies and are a vital part of the day.
These athletes were selected to address and mentor our young friends and chosen, not only for their athletic ability, but their skill in communicating important values about setting goals, academic achievement and self-realization. We want to understand their needs so that we may better serve them and make a difference in our communities. In 1971, fewer than 300,000 high school girls played sports, according to NFHS records. During 1998-99 season, the NFHS counted 2.7 million females participating in high school sports. These trends validate Oshman s commitment to create sports opportunities for young women.
