Julie Foudy Scholarships for Military Daughters

The team here at the Julie Foudy Leadership Foundation is excited to get started with our 2011 fundraising campaign.  With the official “kick off” of this year’s scholarship program for military daughters, we’d like to bring you up-to-date on our success so far, as well as our goals for this year. 

As we reported in our 2010 program update, the Foundation was able to share the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy (the "JFSLA") experience with 10 military daughters from all over the country.  The feedback we continue to receive from these girls is remarkable and has inspired us to work even harder!  Below is just one example of how your continued support is changing lives.

This camp has influenced my life by helping me realize that there is nothing stopping me from reaching my dreams but my own doubts, and that if I work hard enough, I can achieve anything.

Our goal for 2011 is to double the number of military daughters on full scholarship at this summer's JFSLA sessions.  As we enter our first phase of fundraising efforts, we hope that you will continue to support the Foundation’s mission.  While we know how fortunate we are to have a strong team of supporters in our corner, we are even more determined than ever to expand our outreach further. 

As always, we are very grateful for your consideration, generosity and continued support.

Wow!  We had an exciting summer here at the Foundation, and we’d like to share some special details with you.  Due to your generous support, the Foundation had the opportunity to send 10 military daughters to this summer’s Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy. 

These 10 girls arrived from all of the country, including Remlap, Alabama and Auburn, Indiana.  This is encouraging to the entire team here at the Foundation, as we work hard all year round to expand our outreach efforts.  We feel that it is important that you hear just how the Foundation is changing the lives of military daughters from all over the country.  We’d like to share the following words from a mother of one of our students whom you supported this summer by way of your contribution to the Foundation.

First and foremost, I don’t know where to begin to thank you for organizing the INCREDIBLE camp that you and your staff put together each year.  Brianna Crowe’s experience at your camp this year in Chicago was, in a word, AWESOME! She learned skills and practical lessons in life that she would not have learned by going to one of the local camps here in Alabama. Once again, I thank you so much for the skills, values, and the chance to meet you and all of the other guests you had at this camp, she learned so much from all of you. A special thanks also to Marnie and Kerri, who made it so easy and were so helpful in guiding us on what to do, so that our girls could obtain their scholarship. Once again, thank you, all of you!

As we approach an important time in our 2011 fundraising efforts, we hope that you will continue to support our mission.  We are celebrating the work we’ve done thus far, but we believe that we have the ability to expand our outreach even further and provide an amazing opportunity to more deserving young girls of our United States military families.

Thank you very much for your generosity and for CHOOSING TO MATTER!
