Join us for to talk with Nancy Hogshead-Makar, Women’s Sports Foundation’s senior director of advocacy, Olympic champion, professor of law and mother of three, about the importance of sports opportunities for girls and women and getting girls in the game.

Organized sports in high school is the most effective life-long anti-obesity program going.  Research shows that girls who participate in sports and physical activity are more likely than inactive girls to stay in school, get better grades, graduate from high school and go to college.  Yet girls still lag behind boys – 1.3 million fewer opportunities to play in high schools.  
 
Let’s talk about ways to encourage your girls to get involved in interscholastic sports, and make sure your school is investing in your daughters as well as your sons.
