Girls in the Game, NFP

Since inception in 1995, Girls in the Game has emerged as a leader in girls’ health and fitness programming, serving more than 3,000 girls in Chicagoland each year.

Girls in the Game is one of the only organizations that addresses girls’ physical, mental and emotional health with a comprehensive approach.

Girls in the Game has been providing direct service programming for 16 years, with a multitude of programs to keep girls involved year-round and from childhood through their teen years. By exposing girls to a varied mix of health, fitness and leadership opportunities, Girls in the Game aims to not only provide physical activity and health education programming, but also to give girls leadership development opportunities to improve their confidence and help them grow up happy and strong.

We gave them £3,500 through our Americas Funding Panel towards the After School Middle School programme.
