Celebrating Women in Sports, Business, and Entrepreneurship

On Friday, July 17, the Lake Erie Crushers’ Women in Sports, Business, and Entrepreneurship Night will celebrate the power, passion, and potential of women across every arena — from the playing field to the boardroom. This special evening highlights how sports can build the skills, confidence, and leadership that drive success both in competition and in business. The Crushers will honor local youth athletes, business leaders, and entrepreneurs making an impact in Northeast Ohio while inspiring the next generation to dream big, play hard, and lead boldly.

The evening will begin with a compelling panel featuring notable local women who will share about their personal journeys and professional careers. After the panel, fans are invited to stay and cheer on the Crushers during an exciting home game, and the opportunity to explore our Vendor Village!
