The Fast Break Club (FBC) was founded in 1992 by Tara VanDerveer and Associate Head Coach Amy Tucker to be a volunteer organization whose purpose was, "to increase active spectator support and enjoyment for the Women's Basketball program at Stanford, and to raise funds to be used for expenses not generally covered by the operating budget."
For the next 13 years a group of volunteers worked together with the WBB team to carry out fund raising activities and events. In 2005 this website was created by Bob Stevens '71 who shared webmaster duties with the late Marian Cortesi until her passing. This website has remained active through the efforts of a volunteer team 20 years later.
Years ago, Stanford's funding of all athletic programs was placed under the umbrella of the Buck/Cardinal Club and the WBB team no longer raised it's own funds. With the FBC's fund-raising help not needed (until now!), the club's other activities gradually declined and this website is the one thing that remains of the original club.
Support Stanford Players thru Lifetime Cardinal Community Fund
There is a critical need to support Lifetime Cardinal! "I would like to invite you to join me in supporting Stanford Women's Basketball with a tax deductible gift to Lifetime Cardinal Community Fund (501c3). In this challenging athletic landscape, a gift to Lifetime Cardinal allows the program to compete for the very best players in the country. It is a critical lifeline for our program. Without the help of Lifetime Cardinal, Coach Paye and her staff will not be able to retain or recruit outstanding student athletes. I am happy to meet with you and discuss further. Go Cardinal!" Tara VanDerveer
