The goal of the program is to maximize the use of physical activity as an educational intervention and social asset in order to enhance the wellness of girls as they navigate between childhood and early womanhood.

We are pleased to continue the work that has been accomplished nationally towards reaching the goal of getting one million girls active and impacted by the 2004 and 2006 National Health Award-winning GoGirlGo! curriculum.

This grassroots effort offers financial, educational, and technical support resources to girl-serving organizations that provide physical activity programs for girls. The goal is to get sedentary girls ages 8 to 18 moving and to keep currently active girls from dropping out of physical activity in the Seattle area, specifically inside Pierce, Snohomish, and King County.  After registering your organization on the GoGirlGo! Seattle Directory (http://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/GoGirlGo/Seattle.aspx), you are invited to submit your grant application due (postmarked) by Friday, May 28, 2010. Grant award announcements will be made in early June 2010. Grant funding is to support girl-focused, health-enhancing physical activity and implementation of the GoGirlGo! curriculum.
