History of the Program
Teaming up with the GoGirlGo! National Campaign that is aiming to get one million inactive girls to participate in physical activity and keep another one million currently active girls from dropping out of physical activity, Gatorade and the Women's Sports Foundation are supporting another year of the GoGirlGo! Ambassador Team Awards. The awards program is designed to inspire teams to help fight the disturbing physical and psychological health risks affecting America's youth.
Having fun with fitness is a key element to getting girls physically active. Teams must lead their own team project that will get girls in their communities physically active and submit a detailed essay telling us about the project.
A total of $50,000 in grants will be awarded in recognition of the outstanding efforts of 20 teams throughout the country.
