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 and public awareness.
Our free, award-winning curriculum providing tools to get girls active has reached more than 900,000 girls and provided more than $4.6 million in funding to girl-serving organizations.
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.
The Seattle area has been chosen as the next official demonstration community for GoGirlGo! This is a great match because the Northwest is known for its enthusiasm for outdoor activities such as biking, rock climbing, kayaking and more. The Northwest, unfortunately, is not immune to the alarming trend of obesity among kids --- more than 12,000,000 kids are obese in the U.S.! We must take responsibility as a community and encourage 
parents, schools and girl-serving organizations to encourage young girls to get active and make healthy lifestyle choices. They deserve to be the best that they can be.
This program, designed for third- to eighth-graders, educates girls about health-risk behaviors and other issues such as body image, bullying, drugs and stress by featured characters and true-life stories from champion athletes like Julie Foudy, Sanya Richards and Diana Taurasi. GoGirlGo! Seatte staff is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, resources and support you need to succeed with GoGirlGo!
