It is our "Doux'ing" to create a world for girls to have a life filled with opportunities.

Girls lack the opportunities to participate in sport due to challenges like: financial constraints, no means of transportation, decreased quality of equipment and resources, lack of positive role models or even a shortage of programs in their neighborhood. We want to change that, because we believe sport has the power to change lives.

Sport increases self-confidence and self-image. Girls are less likely to experience health issues in adulthood. Important life skills like teamwork, leadership and communication are by products of playing a sport. And an active lifestyle creates for a better livelihood, strengthening girls mentally, physically and emotionally to thrive.

Because we know this, we started Doux + Dot, our very own in-house bakery and cookie program for female athletes. Female athletes turn into cookie entrepreneurs: creating recipes, baking cookies, selling cookie boxes, designing the production and putting together fundraiser events for our scholarship sports fund. All cookie sales from Doux + Dot directly benefit the participation and access to sport for female athletes. This cookie program teaches female athletes essential life skills like: goal setting, money management, business ethics, character development and decision making. Yet, the greatest lesson of all is that she learns that her participation goes beyond the sport. It breaks barriers and provides the next generation with more opportunities.
