NOMINATE A KEEPER

Before we welcome who’s next, LET’S recognize those who carried us here…

Keepers are the champions of women’s basketball culture in Portland. They’re the coaches, mentors, parents, business owners, and community leaders who refused to let the game fade, who created opportunities, inspired others, and built pathways for more people to grow, play, and thrive.

Keepers don’t just show up; they multiply impact by empowering and strengthening the community through basketball. Do you know a Keeper?
