WNBA All-Star 2025 Host Committee launches ‘Girls Get in the Game’ PSA to inspire, empower youth

INDIANAPOLIS (July 14, 2025) — The WNBA All-Star 2025 Host Committee launched a public service announcement today titled, “Girls Get in the Game,” designed to inspire girls to step into sports with confidence, leadership and a sense of belonging.

The PSA highlights how sports have shaped the lives of women leaders across Indiana both on and off the court. The video features WNBA legend and Naismith Hall Of Fame inductee Tamika Catchings, Indiana Fever stars Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, and Indy Ignite pro volleyball player Leketor Member-Meneh, along with many top female executives in Indiana.

“We know that girls who get in the game become women who lead,” said Holli Harrington, Sr. Director of Strategic Alliance at the Indianapolis Airport Authority and the Women and Girls Empowerment Committee Chair for the host committee. “The committee’s goal was to meet girls where they are and provide resources to encourage them to engage in sports. This initiative is about making sure they see themselves in sports, understand the benefits and feel supported every step of the way.”

“My experience in sports has inspired me, motivated me and given me so much joy,” Catchings said. “To be able to take those skills and translate it into whatever you do next, that is the most valuable thing when it comes to playing sports.”

An EY Women Athletes Business Network and espnW survey found that 94 percent of women in executive positions played sports growing up. Underscoring the connection between sports and leadership, the PSA features insights from Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO Mel Raines, Indiana Fever Team President Kelly Krauskopf, Indiana Fever Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Amber Cox, Indiana Fever Head Coach Stephanie White, Trident Systems CEO Rupal Thanawala, Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Aleesia Johnson, Senior Vice President of Penske Entertainment Allison Melangton and many more.

The host committee encourages educators, youth leaders and organizations to utilize the Girls Get in the Game PSA to start meaningful conversations about the lifelong benefits of sports, from resilience and confidence to teamwork and leadership.
