Sonia Chase: Breaking barriers – Leads the Charge in Sports Business

Baltimore, MD — Sporting excellence meets entrepreneurial spirit as Sonia Chase, founder of Chase Your Dreams Academy and former WNBA athlete, continues to break barriers in the realm of community development. In an inspiring appearance on Radio One Baltimore, she announced her ambitious plan to raise $1.7 million within 60 days to fund transformative summer camps for underprivileged youth.

Sonia’s diverse approach to empowerment not only focuses on athletic development through the 2025 NIKE Basketball and Education Summer Camps, running from June 23 to August 15, but also integrates leadership training, financial education, and one-on-one mentorship. She states, “This campaign isn’t just about basketball; it’s about building futures and creating legacy.”

As the founder and CEO of Chase Your Dreams Academy, Sonia harnesses the power of sports to fuel youth development and combat socioeconomic challenges. Her dynamic leadership extends to Chase Your Dreams, Inc., a consulting agency that helps student-athletes navigate the complex landscape of college recruitment and personal branding.
