Celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day
By: Dominique Dawes, Co-Chair of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition
Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day! Each year, this observance provides us with a tremendous opportunity to help get more girls in the game, and make a significant investment in the future of our Nation. I am proud to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition and sound the alarm about the importance of ensuring equitable physical activity opportunities for all Americans.
