Welcome to the Shelley Glover Sports Education Foundation – an organization established to honor Shelley Glover, a gifted and compassionate athlete and leader.  With the unending support of family, friends, coaches and teachers, Shelley Glover, a Madison, WI native, was able to focus her efforts as early as age three on swimming, soccer and ski racing.  At the age of 15, she was named to the United States Development Ski Team, but died following a ski training accident in May 2004 at age 17. Shelley wished most of all for all kids to be able to have as much fun with sport as she did, and to enjoy the benefits it provided her in the development of friendships, self-esteem and physical fitness.
 
To help realize Shelley’s dream, the The Shelley Glover Sports Education Foundation (SGSEF) was founded.  SGSEF is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting athletic activities and competition for youth of all ages and abilities with a focus on Shelley’s favorite sports, skiing, swimming, and soccer.  SGSEF will provide support for athletic opportunities and competition through the development of innovative programs and community partnerships that expand access to sports.  
 
SGSEF is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to:

• Increase access to athletic opportunities and competition
• Advocate for improved safety and injury prevention
• Improve quality of life for children through participation in sports
• Assist children in strengthening their physical and emotional health
  

Please join us in supporting Shelley’s dream that all kids have a chance to ski, swim and play sports!  To date, SGSEF has provided scholarships for skiers, funding for swim lessons and pool memberships that have benefitted local children through Madison’s Goodman Pool, and most recently developed a partnership with Madison’s Millennium Soccer Club, to help provide opportunities for youth to play soccer or attend soccer camp. Your support will strengthen our efforts!
