Michele Kang said, "Women's sports have been undervalued and overlooked for far too long. I am committed to raising the standard of excellence in women's soccer -- both on and off the pitch -- by delivering the resources female athletes need to reach their full potential and surround them with the professional support they deserve. I hope this investment serves as 'seed capital' and spurs other donors to follow suit."
USSF president Cindy Parlow Cone emphasized, "Michele Kang's gift will transform soccer for women and girls in the United States. It will impact generations of women and girls in our game, including players, coaches, and referees. I know firsthand the power soccer can have in someone's life and thanks to Michele, we will be able to provide more support and opportunities for women and girls."
Emma Hayes, head coach of the US women's national team, praised the donation, stating it has the potential to "change the trajectory of the sport." This underscores the significant impact Kang's funding could have on future generations of female athletes.
