EPIC for Girls, a nonprofit organization empowering girls of color through sports, education, and mentorship, is pleased to announce "An EPIC Day with Dawn Staley," a special fundraising event featuring American basketball Hall of Fame player Dawn Staley.

The event will take place on Thursday, September 14, 2023, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the College of Saint Mary Lied Fitness Center located at 7000 South 72nd St.

Dawn Staley is currently the head coach for the South Carolina Gamecocks. She is a three-time Olympic gold medalist, NCAA’s all-time steals leader, two-time National Player of the Year, and a five-time WNBA All-Star, to name a few of her remarkable achievements.

Following the luncheon, girls ages 12-18 years will have the opportunity to meet Staley and participate in a mini sports clinic led by collegiate athletes from surrounding colleges, featuring volleyball, basketball, soccer, and golf.

For mentors, The Coaches Corner with Staley will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for coffee and conversation with the former WNBA player. The Premium Meet & Greet with Staley offers exclusive access to meet & greet; both packages include a meal, dessert, and premium reserved seating.
