Mark Cuban’s $10 million pledge to boost female leadership programs — a commitment made after a sexual harassment investigation — will include $100,000 for Fort Worth’s Young Women’s Leadership Academy.
YWLA is the Fort Worth district’s first and only single-gender school for young women. The funds will support efforts to prepare young women for college, STEM and visual arts education, leadership service and health/wellness programs funded by the Foundation for the Young Women’s Leadership Academy of Fort Worth.
Courtney Radcliffe, executive director of the foundation, said she received news of the donation in an unexpected email.
