New WNBA initiative gives back to women's causes

Great initiative announced by the league office today:

The WNBA invites fans to "take a seat, take a stand" for women and girls this season:

NEW YORK, May 17, 2018 – The WNBA today launched “Take a Seat, Take a Stand,” its new women and girls empowerment program for the 2018 season. When regular-season games begin tomorrow, May 18, WNBA tickets will do more than support women’s sports – when fans take a seat at a WNBA game, they will also have the chance to support several organizations that are changing the game for women and girls.

EXCELLENT!
