Beyond the Baseline: Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston Champion Community Change
While the Indiana Fever are utilizing the WNBA midseason break to recharge their batteries for the playoff push, stars Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston are proving that their impact extends far beyond the hardwood. In a heartwarming display of leadership and empathy, the duo traded their jerseys for volunteer vests to tackle a critical social issue in Central Indiana.
Fighting Period Poverty with Project Period Indy
Joining forces with assistant coach Briann January, Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston partnered with WNBA community initiatives and Project Period Indy. The mission? To combat period poverty—a systemic issue that prevents many students and individuals from accessing basic menstrual hygiene products.
Working alongside the non-profit and brand partner Sequel, the trio spent their downtime packing 5,000 Period Packs. These essential kits are slated for distribution across more than 30 schools and community centers throughout Central Indiana, ensuring that those in need have the resources to maintain their health and dignity.
A Team Culture Built on Giving
This isn’t an isolated incident; it’s part of a growing trend of philanthropy within the Indiana Fever organization. The team has consistently demonstrated a “community-first” mentality during one of the most closely watched seasons in WNBA history.
