\"Molly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This story originally appeared on the United Way of the Bluegrass blog. Read the full article here.<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she was just 7 years old, Molly Caldwell made a promise to her parents: if they would pave that patch of dirt she used as a backyard basketball court in her hometown of Eubank, Ky., she would practice hard enough to earn a scholarship to play college ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caldwell\u2019s parents agreed, and the young athlete\u2019s hard work paid off. Ten years later, she was awarded a basketball scholarship to Transylvania University, where she played not only basketball, but collegiate golf throughout her four years. She graduated with a degree in marketing in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a big scrapbook filled with stories about my years playing for Pulaski,\u201d said Caldwell, now Director of Corporate Engagement for United Way of the Bluegrass in Lexington. In high school she played in two Kentucky high school girls championship games, was regional player of the year and a member of the 1,000-point club and is listed eighth on the list of all-time greatest rebounders and steals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Into the classroom and back on the court<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caldwell has since dedicated her life to making an impact both on and off the court. Her first job was a teaching position at Boyle County High School, where she also coached both girls golf and basketball. And though she loved inspiring students in the classroom and on the court, an observation by a female referee one summer at basketball camp changed her life\u2019s course. She praised Caldwell\u2019s work on the sidelines \u2014 but believed she belonged on the court, officiating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caldwell took that advice to heart and decided to try her hand at refereeing. She climbed the ladder, working at AAU tournaments, men\u2019s leagues, and middle school and high school games for the Bluegrass Basketball Association. Eventually she became a familiar face at numerous state tournaments, culminating in 2017 when she was named Official of the Year by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting the big time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Molly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From there, Caldwell began her collegiate journey with the NAIA, where she was selected to officiate at four consecutive NAIA Championships. She was subsequently hired by NCAA Division 1 women\u2019s basketball in 2015. Today, she officiates in 10 Division 1 conferences, and in 2022, was selected for the Women\u2019s NCAA Tournament, with her first assignment at Iowa University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to take on this responsibility in the highest echelons of collegiate sports, Caldwell needed a career where she could officiate nationwide and still make an impact on her community. In 2008, she joined United Way of the Bluegrass, where she became a development officer, managing giving campaigns and donor relationships. \u201cAs a lifelong athlete, I\u2019ve never been one to sit on the bench,\u201d Caldwell observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as a former coach, Caldwell says the only thing that was hard in her transition to officiating was her inclination to keep on coaching the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was hard for me to leave the students, and I did have to leave off trying to coach them during games. It was hard, but I made peace with it,\u201d she says with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Parks and WayPoint Centers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caldwell left UWBG in 2013 to become president of the Kentucky State Parks Foundation. Then, in 2020 sports stepped in, changing her life once more. While on the golf course with a former UWBG donor, she learned about UWBG\u2019s WayPoint Initiative and was intrigued. She reached out to a former colleague to learn more, saw the program served a great need \u2014 and that it was a cause she could passionately market to UWBG donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WayPoint Initiative is a network of community centers where families and individuals in underserved neighborhoods and communities of color can access a variety of vital services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an official and as part of the UWBG team, I\u2019m able to play an active role in making an impact on the court for female athletes and in the community for my Central Kentucky neighbors,\u201d Caldwell said. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to have the opportunity to pursue these passions by balancing both careers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending her job as an official and with the United Way has easy for Caldwell, who feels strongly about her place as a role model, particularly to young girls in sports. She says several years ago she briefly considered a career officiating for the NBA but decided to stay in women\u2019s sports. Even today, women\u2019s collegiate players will marvel when there are three women officiating their games. Caldwell tells them if they love the game, they don\u2019t have to leave when they graduate \u2014 officiating is a career open to women who love the sport. \u201cI always say you have to see it to be it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within months of her joining UWBG, Caldwell helped secure three large grants to get the first WayPoint Centers up and running. She currently serves as director of corporate engagement, working with business partners and major donors, managing staff and identifying grant funding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she\u2019s not on the basketball court, you can find Caldwell in Lexington with her fianc\u00e9e Kaelyn and their son, Jed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
