Swin Cash and Tina Charles are the first two that spring to my mind.

More recently, setting up and making continuing donations to a foundation that provides [heart] defibrillators for schools that don't have them, in memory of her grandmother. Each defibrillator costs $15K, and for every double-double she scores in the W, she donates a new one.
