GoGirlGo! Ambassador Team Awards

Girl Teams in Grades 9–12 Encouraged to Take the Lead

Supported by Gatorade and the Women’s Sports Foundation, these awards are designed to inspire girl teams to take a leadership role in fighting the health risks associated with physical inactivity that affect girls in their own communities.

Having fun with fitness is a key element to getting girls physically active. Teams must lead their own project that will get girls in their communities physically active, and submit a detailed essay explaining the project. A total of $50,000 in twenty $2,500 grants will be awarded in recognition of the outstanding efforts of 20 teams throughout the country.

School, amateur, community, and/or nonprofit affiliated teams whose members are female, enrolled in 9th–12th grade, and residents of the United States are eligible to apply. Grants will be made payable to the school, nonprofit institution, or 501(c)(3)organization.

The deadline to apply is July 18, 2008. Visit www.womenssportsfoundation.org/cgi-bin/iowa/funding/featured.html?record=34 for more information and to download the application form.

Note: The Women's Sports Foundation also offers GoGirlGo! Grants for girls aged 8–13.
