Power Players: Women’s Sports — U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation

U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation

Christine Walshe

President 

The lead fundraiser in the U.S. Olympic movement, Christine Walshe has focused some of her efforts on supporting the whole athlete. The foundation Walshe leads has launched the Women’s Circle, bringing together businesswomen, philanthropists and others for engagement around women’s sports. That program has helped raise more than $2.3 million, including a $2 million gift to support women’s reproductive health costs and $125,000 for the new family fund to support athletes as they become parents. — R.A.
