The Carolina Lady Cougars are Charlotte, NC’s one and only women’s semi-professional basketball organization. Our mission is to empower women in our community by providing exposure and access to the resources they need to take their basketball careers to the next level. This year, we are honored to partner with USA Select and represent them as we travel to compete in the Malta National Championships this September. Our team is made up of hardworking women—some balancing families and careers—who are deeply committed to their sport and their dreams.

This incredible opportunity comes with significant costs. Each player is responsible for their own flights, lodging, and gear for the week-long event. For many of our players, these expenses are a real challenge, but we are determined not to let financial barriers stand in the way of our dreams. Every dollar raised will go directly toward covering travel, gear, and meal expenses, ensuring that every Lady Cougar can focus on representing Charlotte and the USA with pride.

We believe that women in sports deserve opportunities like this to reach higher levels, and experiences like this mean the world to us. Your support—no matter the amount—will help make these dreams a reality. Please join us in supporting the Lady Cougars as we chase our basketball dreams on the international stage!
