TENACITY BUILDS
STRONG WOMEN

OUR MISSION

THE TENACITY PROJECT IS A WOMEN-LED MOVEMENT THAT USES LACROSSE AS A VEHICLE TO PROVIDE GIRLS ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN, PLAY, AND LIVE WITH TENACITY.

OUR PURPOSE

To help girls navigate life’s challenges by providing a supportive environment where they can develop the necessary tools to become successful on and off the field.

Through our athletic programs, we cultivate tenacious student-athletes who are goal-setters, problem-solvers, and collaborators. Our players earn the skills to play and live under pressure. We know that adversity cannot be prevented in our girls’ lives, but the translatable skills that our players acquire through sports will help them meet these challenges with confidence and community.
