Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry launching initiative to support Davidson's female athletes
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and his wife, Ayesha, are collaborating with Davidson College to launch the Curry Family Women's Athletics Initiative, a scholarship endowment focused on elevating women's athletics at the two-time NBA MVP's alma mater.
The Currys are contributing an undisclosed amount to start a scholarship fund with hopes of encouraging other donors. The goal is to have an immediate impact on Davidson's more than 200 female athletes.
In an Instagram video announcing the initiative, captioned in part, "This one hits home ..." Curry noted the role women have played in his life, including his two daughters, Riley, 9, and Ryan, 6.
"The reason I am who I am today is also because of strong, powerful women who have poured into my life all these years," Curry said, adding, "Now, as the father of two girls I want them to grow up without any boundaries on their futures."
