The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team – which will compete in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada starting June 6 – is hosting a week-long celebration from May 19-24 where WNT players will give back to their local communities during special events focused on young kids. Lauren (Cheney) Holiday will host a special community event in Indianapolis during this week – further details are listed below.

Holiday was Indiana soccer player of the year in 2006 and graduated from Ben Davis that same years. She has played in both the World Cup and the Olympic Games.

The events – called “#SheBelieves in her Community” – kick-off a major effort from the USWNT to give back to the young fans that support them on the field by sending a simple yet powerful message back: #SheBelieves. Conceived and developed by the USWNT players, the #SheBelieves campaign is a message to young girls that they can accomplish all their goals and dreams.

While the U.S. Women’s National Team players are preparing to make an impression on the soccer world during the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, they also are determined to make an impact on their fans, especially the young girls and women who will be watching them this summer.

In an effort to give back to the young fans that support them on the field, the U.S. WNT players are sending a simple yet powerful message back: #SheBelieves. Conceived and developed by the USWNT players, the #SheBelieves campaign is a message to young girls that they can accomplish all their goals and dreams.

“As a team, we are always excited to be able to positively impact young fans, especially young girls,” said U.S. WNT captain Christie Rampone. “Our fans have shown us how much they believe in us, and we believe in them, too. We want everyone to have that confidence on and off the field. The #SheBelieves initiative allows us to interact with the fans and encourage them to set high goals and strive to reach them no matter what the obstacles.”
