| GoGirlGo! Chicago: The Women’s Sports Foundation’s Equal Play Model |
| The Women’s Sports Foundation launched GoGirlGo! in 2001 to combat the alarming physical and psychological health hazards affecting girls in the US, to get one million inactive girls to participate in regular physical activity, and keep another one million currently active girls ages 8-18 from dropping out. This national education and awareness initiative will help you learn about the GoGirlGo!Chicago model which successfully enables girls to live an active lifestyle and educate others. |
