Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
To commemorate this landmark legislation, during a game on June 23, the Minnesota Lynx will honor Minnesota’s Women in athletics, sports, and advocacy, including our founder, Ann Bancroft.
