Join me in supporting Girls Play Sports, an organization that I have been helping to build in our community!
Girls Play Sports is a non-profit (501c3) organization dedicated to building leadership skills and confidence in girls through their participation in a wide variety of sports. Girls Play Sports was created to unlock doors, to expose girls to positive, strong role models, and to let girls have fun playing sports without a scoreboard or coach or long-term season commitment. The Girls Play Sports programs emphasize pride in being a female athlete.
I was introduced to Girls Play Sports by my daughter, Riley. She has volunteered at GPS as a swim and water polo coach. It has been a transformative experience for her. She has found a way to give back to our community sharing something she loves. She has grown as an athlete, a feminist and an activist.
Girls Play Sports annually provides over 70 clinics to approximately 300 Evanston girls regardless of their ability to pay. As a direct result of GPS the number of female athletes at ETHS now outnumbers the boys.
Help us ensure that the Girls Play Sports programs can continue to run in our community because girls need a place where they can get exposure to multiple sports that might interest them. Exposure to multiple sports will decrease early burnout and overuse injuries due to sport specialization at young ages, it keeps sports fresh and fun, it helps improve the overall athleticism of young athletes, and it allows girls to connect with a wider group of girls.
Girls Play Sports is an organization that means a lot to me. Help us ensure that the Girls Play Sports programs can continue to help our girls become better women and the leaders of tomorrow. Let's support good in our community and make a difference!
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Girls Play Sports.
