In 2017, PeacePlayers partnered with Nike to expand to the U.S., focusing on equity, leadership development and engaging girls.
The Girls Summit is the ultimate celebration of our year-round program, where girls and young women step into the spotlight, empowered by the game of basketball.
PeacePlayers uses the power of sport to build peaceful and thriving communities.
Connect girls with a network of inspiring women from diverse backgrounds, including leaders in hoops culture, business, and activism in their communities.
Create a platform for girls to find their voice and have a platform to drive positive change.
Create opportunities that equip girls with the tools, skills, and confidence to pursue their aspirations.
Our sponsorships are varied and customizable to fit your goals. As a sponsor, you’ll help create a supportive environment where girls can thrive, break barriers, and become future leaders.
We’ll collaborate with Presenting and Gold level sponsors to design tailored deliverables that match your needs and highlight your unique strengths.
