Olympic Trials, Baby!
One of our first goals when we started &Mother was to support three US Olympic hopefuls AND mothers, qualify for the US Olympic Trials and have a shot at representing Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics this July.
Well, guess what happened?! All three athletes qualified for the Trials!
Sara Vaughn - 3,000 meter Steeplechase
Dawn Harper- 100 meter Hurdles
Olicia Williams - 800 meters

Big thanks to our Founding Partner, Cadenshae, for believing in our vision and providing the funds to kick off this program. And an extra big thanks to YOU for contributions that enabled us to continue our support for these incredible women. Your generosity is also helping fuel the extension of this program to support additional core &Mother athletes and our Maternity/Family-Support Grants for #andmother athletes and coaches to cover expenses like childcare, family travel, postpartum physical therapy, mental health, lactation support... really anything that will help them thrive as both athletes AND mother.
