Mark Cuban Donates $100,000 to Young Women’s Leadership Academy of Fort Worth

10/2/18—Mark Cuban, an American businessman and investor, recently announced he would donate $10 million to women’s advocacy nonprofits following an investigation into sexual harassment in the NBA. Young Women’s Leadership Academy (YWLA) of Fort Worth, a member of NCGS and Fort Worth’s only single-gender school for young women, is receiving a $100,000 donation as part of Cuban’s pledge.

Principal of YWLA Tamara Albury said, “They see the value in what we’re doing and in my students… It’s fantastic. It’s heartwarming.” The school plans to use the funds for STEM and visual arts education, as well as programs in leadership, service, and health/wellness.
