Play Like a Girl is a nonprofit organization that encourages girls to play sports and empowers them to choose careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).[1][2] The organization is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee,[3] and offers services in the United States and Canada.[4] It was founded in 2004 by Kimberly Clay.[4] All of their staff are volunteers.[5]
In November 2020, Sarah Fuller had "Play Like a Girl" printed on the back of her helmet when she kicked off for the Vanderbilt Commodores and became the first woman to play a regular season college football game in a Power Five conference. The following day, Play Like a Girl reported that they had received $13,000 in donations and an increase in people inquiring about volunteering since her game.[1]
