Real talk: changing girls’ lives through sports and leadership doesn’t just “happen” — it takes coaches, staff, space, snacks, and yes… admin support. This op-ed from long-time friend of Girls in the Game, Sandi Caldrone, nails why cutting overhead funding hurts impact instead of helping it. Nonprofit friends, give it a read! We'll let you guess who the small nonprofit she references is??? https://lnkd.in/gqX-q82N

It’s a busy time for Girls in the Game! After School Programming is starting back up again, and we just hosted our first Regional Clinic of the school year! We had so much fun playing soccer and ultimate frisbee as well as talking about self-identity and personal safety! Chicago Professional Women for Good stopped by to present a check, and we were also joined by a volunteer group from KPMG. We are so grateful to both of these groups, as well as our coaches and participants for coming out! We have many exciting events coming up, such as the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 13th! Our marathon team of 30 runners has been working tirelessly to prepare for the big day, and we are so excited to cheer them on! Stay tuned for more updates, and make sure to follow our Instagram as well, @girlsinthegame! #GirlsInTheGame #StrongStartsHere #WomenInSports #EmpowerGirls #AllInForGirls

This national initiative – co-founded by WSF and ESPN in 2014 and supported by Gatorade bolt – utilizes the power of sport to build a solid foundation for Black, African-American, Hispanic and Native American girls to thrive on and off the field of play. We are grateful for their support to continue our work! #KeepPlaying #Sports4Life #WSF50 #GirlsintheGame #DeterminedNation #Chicago
