Bases Loaded – Fiercely Female

Apr 29, 2018

On April 11, 2018, Fields & Futures had the honor of hosting a gym full of female leaders and loyal supporters for our inaugural Bases Loaded luncheon.

Planned as an annual event, Bases Loaded will tackle timely topics related to the role of sports in young peoples’ lives.

We set the tone early with this year’s message – “Fiercely Female”.

With OSU Grad Student Addie Plank leading off and OU Softball Legend Lauren Chamberlain batting clean-up, our roster full of fierce females celebrated the lifelong impact of sports on young women with passion, emotion, and hard-hitting statistics.

The trip was more than just a reward for their accomplishments; it was a vivid demonstration of "Hope in Action."
