Description

Thanks for your interest in the FIRST ANNUAL T.F. North SWAG Run.  Why SWAG?  Because Strong Women Are Gorgeous!  We developed this idea in order to help boost our female athletics program.  Young women who play sports are more likely to have higher confidence, do better in school, and make positive choices. 

By the age of 14, girls are twice as likely to drop out of sports as boys.  According to the Women’s Sports Foundationfactors such as social stigma, lack of access, safety and transportation issues, costs and lack of positive role models, can all contribute to the reasons why girls drop out of sports in their adolescent years.  Our goal is to encourage our young women to stay in sports and reap the benefits of teamwork, commitment, and dedication, all of which are skills that will help them in the long run.

This is why we need you!  Strong and confident girls grow up to be successful and accomplished women.  They have SWAG!
