PYSC Women in Sports Summit
Client Overview
The Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative (PYSC) works to expand equitable access to high-quality sports-based youth development programs for children throughout Philadelphia. On November 1, 2023, PYSC hosted its inaugural summit at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, bringing together hundreds of guests, athletes, sports executives, coaches, broadcasters, and community leaders to celebrate women in sports and advocate for greater equality and opportunities in athletics.
