What We Do
The Women’s Sports Foundation’s GoGirlGo! works across the country to improve the health of sedentary girls and to keep girls involved in physical activity.  We get girls moving not through direct service, but by supporting programs and organizations that work with girls. GoGirlGo! identifies and weaves together quality resources within each community and provides comprehensive support through education, funding, public awareness and networking

GoGirlGo! Founding Story
In 2000 the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Board of Trustees were discussing statistics that showed that one in three girls was physically active. Founder Billie Jean King raised the question, “What about those other two girls?” Find out what happened next.


Our Impact
Our free, award-winning curriculum providing tools to get girls active has reached more than 621,000 girls and provided more than $2.9 million in funding to girl-serving organizations.  Click the video to the left to see the Beantown Jumpers, GoGirlGo!
