Empower 100 girls through sports and fitness!

Hello Friend of PGIM!

I hope 2020 is off to an amazing start for you and yours. We have a lot of exciting things planned this year for PGIM and I can't wait to share! But, before I do, let me catch you up on what's been happening in program since I last updated you.

• All of our after-school sites are back in session. That means that 126 girls are participating in twice/weekly health & wellness programming with some of the best fitness instructors in the city! 

• We completed 4 weeks of indoor lacrosse programming with amazing guest clinicians. The Division 1 Women's teams from St. Joseph's, Widener and Temple joined us, along with the Pennridge High School varsity team! 48 girls joined us for beginner lacrosse skill-building and the opportunity to engage with inspiring mentors.

• We are currently running a 5-week volleyball series with 65 girls registered! Guest clinicians include the Varsity Women's teams from: Haverford College, University of the Sciences, Swarthmore, Temple and the club team from Drexel. 

• On February 2nd, 93 girls joined us for a basketball clinic at St. Joseph's University. Alumni from the basketball team coached the clinic and all girls and families were invited to join us to watch the Hawks take on Dayton at Hagan Arena!

On the operations side, we have added six new folks to our Board of Directors and have been working hard to plan out an exciting year of events and opportunities to engage with Philly Girls in Motion.  PGIM has also been invited to be a part of the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaboratives' City-wide girls initiative, which has a goal of getting more girls involved in sports & fitness AND retaining them! So there is a lot to look forward to this year. 

We are beyond gratefull for your support and hope that you will continue to support us as we continue to empower as many of Philadelphia's girls as we can through sports & fitness!

Best,

Jillian
