About Me
ABOUT 4WARD
Nonprofit fundraiser established by Rian Forestier who is a member of the USC Women's basketball team. Rian graduated from SA Brandeis HS and played AAU with SA Finest. Rian recognizes not all athletes have the money to purchase the proper equipment (shoes) to play the game of basketball. If these female athletes cannot afford the shoes, many times, they will opt out of participating or trying out as a result.
4WARD Allows female athletes to be able to play basketball in the proper shoes which will minimize injury, raise self-esteem and inspire girls to continue playing the game.
4 is Rian’s jersey number and FORWARD is a way for Rian to give back to her community, help provide female student athletes a sense of inclusion, dignity so they will want to continue to play the game for years to come.
