Billie Jean King marked the 50th anniversary of the Women's Sports Foundation by honoring various individuals and groups who have contributed to the advancement of women in sports. The foundation, initially started with a $5,000 check, has grown into a $100 million organization that supports girls and women in achieving their athletic dreams through grants, programs, and mentorship.
At the celebratory event in New York, the 1999 U.S. women's World Cup champions, PWHL and Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter, and the 2024 WNBA rookie class were recognized for their contributions to women's sports.
