PLAY TODAY, LEAD TOMORROW: CELEBRATING WOMEN IN SPORT

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LACK OF REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP ROLES IS A LIMITING FACTOR FOR GIRLS’ AND WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN SPORT AND QUALITY SPORT EXPERIENCES?(CANADIAN WOMEN & SPORT RALLY REPORT 2020)

We want to change that.

Fast and Female is a nationwide charity on a mission to empower girls through sport, physical activity and education! Using our evidence-based curriculum, developed by industry leaders, we aim to build the confidence and leadership skills of girls ages 8-18 through our events and programs. We believe in the power of REAL (relatable, empowered, active leaders) Role Models for our participants and aim to create girl-centered, girl-focused opportunities for our participants to connect with incredible women Role Models that are passionate about sport and physical activity.

Since 2007, Fast and Female has engaged, supported and elevated over 2500 women role models, empowering 25,400 participants across the country. It's time to celebrate them. Because girls who play today, lead tomorrow.

March 8 marks International Women's Day - a day to celebrate women's achievement across the globe. We know that our participants benefit from playing today to become the leaders of tomorrow. Today and everyday, we celebrate our women Role Models and changemakers in sport, physical activity and education. We are thrilled to launch our March campaign in honor of International Women's Day: Play Today, Lead Tomorrow.

FAST AND FEMALE IS LOOKING TO RAISE $15,000 THIS MARCH TO SUPPORT OUR ROLE MODEL AND YOUTH PROGRAM.

Fast and Female Supporting Women in Sport Foundation aims to be as transparent with our community as possible moving forward. To do that, we are sharing our key priorities on where your donation will go:

• Invest and grow our National Youth Advisory Program, including expanding our program offerings for youth ages 15-21 to invest in our leaders of tomorrow.
• Prioritize our National Role Model Program, so that we can connect more self-identified girls with REAL (relatable, empowered, active leaders) Role Models from within their communities. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it, and we aim to continue to evolve a network of diverse role models to mentor and shape the leaders of tomorrow. This includes implementing more training for our Role Models, launching our Role Model portal, and solidifying our recruitment and onboarding process.
