We are so proud to report that our #saveathon goal We are so proud to report that our #saveathon goalkeeper and #SheBelongs Ambassador @tiffanysornpao_ recently led her Thailand Women's Football team to a Bronze medal in the Sea Games in #Cambodia.⁠
⁠
And, thanks to the powerful combination of Tiffany's performance and the generous sponsorship by two awesome women, we raised $820 for #refugee #girls attending our trip to the Women's World Cup in #NewZealand.⁠
⁠
Kinda cool what happens when you step up and celebrate women  playing the #beautifulgame for something more than just winning a match. Let's keep working on improving #genderequity by highlighting female athletes and the value of refugee girls!⁠

We love sharing powerful ideas and @HaleyRosen of We love sharing powerful ideas and @HaleyRosen of @JustWomensSports nailed this! (Swipe through the slides.) We need to celebrate, hype, believe, and invest in women's sports. ⁠

⁠
Rather, we are inviting you to celebrate and invest in these 20+ #refugees and non-refugee girls daring to dream big and work hard to share this message of inclusion and equality on the world's greatest stage for women's sports: the @fifawomensworldcup.⁠

It's #TEDTuesday, and we love this quote from @rep It's #TEDTuesday, and we love this quote from @reptedlieu. We can and should do more to #welcomerefugees. It's not their presence that harms our country; it's our response to humans who don't look like us. Racism will exist as long as we tolerate its existence. Let's do better!
