ARCHBISHOP RYAN BASKETBALL TEAM TAKES THE PLEDGE FOR MY DAUGHTER'S TEAM
Archbishop Ryan Basketball Team Takes My Daughter’s Team Pledge
First Team to take the pledge to protect young females from harassment and abuse!
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) – The Archbishop Ryan Basketball team became the first team to take the pledge for My Daughter’s Team. The pledge is designed to raise awareness and get men and women to help prevent harassment and sexual assault. In recent years, violence against women has increased and My Daughter’s Team was formed to push initiatives and help groups dedicated to preventing harassment, sexual assault, and trafficking.
“We are so proud of the Archbishop Ryan basketball team for taking the pledge and making it known that they want to help prevent harassment, sexual assault, and trafficking against females, stated Kelly Lewis, Esquire, founder of My Daughter’s Team. They are the first team to take the Pledge and it’s immediately encouraging other teams at Archbishop Ryan and other high schools to take the Pledge.”
“We want to make an impact in the community and keep all girls safe,” added Coach and Athletic Director Joe Zeglinski. “We are proud to be the first team to make the pledge to protect our young females from harassment and abuse.”
In the Fall of 2022 in reaction to learning he had multiple myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer, Kelly Lewis formed My Daughter’s Team to help prevent rape, incest, FGM and trafficking against women, against our daughters. As his own daughter went through high school and college, he learned of other assaults against students, and he wanted to do something about it.
Lewis is the author of Rheingold: Born Fatima, a book focused on violence against women.
To work against harassment and abuse of young females, My Daughter’s Team is seeking teams and groups to take the pledge, “I'm on my Daughter's team.” www.mydaughtersteam.com
