Sparks Player Spotlight

Sparks center Lisa Leslie was honored on Sunday, October 19, 2008 at the Diamond in the RAW Foundation awards ceremony and presented with the "Dare to be Different" award.  The "Dare to be Different" award is presented yearly to a female athlete that is competitive, ambitious and dares to dream big.   The Diamond in the RAW Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate and expose at-risk teen girls to various careers in the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera, such as careers in directing, stunts or stunt coordination. The Foundation also bestows educational scholarships annually. 
The Sparks want to congratulate Lisa on "Daring to be Different" and for leading the way to making a better community.
