The Women’s Sports Foundation’s GoGirlGo! curriculum focuses on reducing and preventing health-risk behaviors by combining physical activity with education.

This week, the Women’s Sports Foundation handed a check for $12,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Redmond/Sammamish for implementing this curriculum.

The club offers recreational and educational programs for youth on the campus of Emily Dickinson Elementary School in Redmond.

More checks will be handed out in the fall to other organizations that agree to use the free, award-winning curriculum.

You need not be a grant recipient to use the curriculum, however. Any school or girl-serving organization can order the curriculum.
