Tammy Sutton-Brown

OCCUPATION
Basketball player

CONTRIBUTION
For a woman who stands 6’4″, Tammy Sutton-Brown has seemingly flown under the radar. An eight-year veteran of the WNBA, she was the first Canadian ever to be selected to the WNBA All-Star Game and represented Canada at the 2000 Olympics. Competing year round, she spends her off seasons in Turkey and led her club to the Turkish Championship this year. In Summer 2008 she started the Tammy Sutton-Brown Girls Basketball Camp and, in December, hosted a “Day of Pampering” at Street Haven at the Crossroads, a shelter in Toronto that helps women get back on their feet.

INSPIRATION
“Ever since day one, my parents have been there, through everything. I don’t think my mom missed a high school game and they come down to Indiana at least once a year. My dad has been overseas twice. They’re my biggest supporters.”
