Elevate Her Legacy
Elevate Her Legacy is a 3-day experience built to Elevate Her Game—bringing together competition, development, and real opportunities for girls to grow on and off the field.
Event Lineup:
- July 16: High School 7v7 Tournament
- July 17: Free Clinic + Open Play
- July 18: Women in Sports Panel & Workshop
Elevate Her Legacy is more than just an event—it’s a platform designed to create meaningful opportunities for girls through sport. By combining competition, development, and community, the weekend is built to support players both on and off the field. This year, we’re introducing a new model—partnering with a local community to host the event and reinvesting a portion of proceeds directly back into that community. Our goal is to create a cycle of access, support, and growth that extends beyond a single weekend. For 2026, we’re proud to collaborate with the East Orange High School Girls Soccer Program, with proceeds helping to provide resources and continued opportunities for players at the local level.
