Athletes For Imagining More
by Shannon Rowbury for Imagining More
Supporting: Athletes For for AthleteBiz
My idea of Imagining More came from my experiences training in Mexico. I grew up in the city of San Francisco and in a home environment where I thought anything was possible. I encountered strong women in my daily life (my mother worked and my elementary school had a woman principal and vice principal). It was not until I got older that I started to see signs of resistance towards women striving for more.
About Imagining More
Imagining More was established to promote education, arts and athletics. It was born from the limitations that young people face when pursuing extracurricular activities during their academic years. Our goal is to support multi-cultural individuals who wish to pursue education, art projects and/or sport programs, as well as to create awareness about the importance of developing into a multi-dimensional individual.
What Imagining More Has Accomplished

- Provided scholarships and resources to several low income / underserved individuals in support of:
- Their college education
- The creation of an art project (materials, supplies, etc.)
- Their participation in sports programs (athletic gear, program fees, etc.)
Participated in numerous speaking engagements at schools & businesses
- Encouraged and created awareness about the importance of developing into a multi-dimensional individual through sport and/or art
Donated athletic apparel, shoes and equipment to low income / underserved schools and youth running clubs in the USA and Mexico
