About ANNE DONOVAN UPLIFT MEMORIAL registration Scholarships

When someone holds a special place in your heart, makes a big impact in your life or changes their community for good, it’s fitting to honor their contributions. Anne Donovan and I worked together for two seasons with the WNBA Charlotte Sting where Anne led the Sting to the WNBA Championship series vs the Los Angeles Sparks. Johnny and I considered Anne a friend and were fortunate to do some team building work with Anne’s teams at Seton Hall and the WNBA Seattle Storm. Because of several of our Board Members’ relationship with Anne, we would like to carry on her legacy of coaching — teaching current and future generations by naming our UPLIFT Scholarship in memory of Anne this year.

​

Education, Professional Development and Leadership Development are gifts that last a lifetime, and the ANNE DONOVAN - UPLIFT Memorial Registration Scholarship gives a meaningful way to honor Anne’s commitment to advancing the game as a player and a coach.

​

To date, thanks to the generous contributions of Coaches, friends, and family of Anne we have been able to award close to 350 UPLIFT Registration Scholarships.
