W-L Girls Soccer Pink Games
W-L girls' soccer is turning PINK for Doorways! We are so inspired by the players' support survivors of domestic and sexual violence as well as families and youth experiencing homelessness.
Washington Spirit player Gaby Vincent (pictured here with Doorways Board Member Michelle Sagatov and below with the W-L JV team) joined the players at their first pink game last week to cheer them on and support the cause.
