Support Fast and Female on Giving Tuesday 2022
You may have spent Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping all of the biggest deals of the year, but Giving Tuesday is all about giving to the causes you care about. Giving Tuesday is a global initiative that was started in 2012, that’s purpose is to encourage generosity and the giving spirit. We’re excited to share with you all our 2022 Giving Tuesday Campaign: The Future is Now.
About our Giving Tuesday Campaign
Working with our Youth Advisory Council, we are focusing on how we can Create the Next Generation of Leaders through Sport.
For many girls, sport participation is often the first step to gaining leadership skills which can be carried into adulthood. Unfortunately, many will not gain these valuable life skills, due to the fact that three girls dropout of sport for every one boy that does (Canadian Women & Sport, 2020). If this difference didn’t exist, there would be 85,000 more teenage girls involved in sports and, by extension, 85,000 future leaders; we’re on a mission to change this. For every dollar raised, Fast and Female Supporting Women in Sport Foundation is able to expand our message by connecting with more girls from across the country and to help foster the leaders of tomorrow.
YAC members have first hand experience of what sport programming can do to develop leadership skills. The YAC is a space for our members to develop skills and build connections with other self-identified girls. They contribute to creating and are involved in brave, representational and accessible programs for self-identified girls from across Canada. Our YAC members are our champions for this initiative and have written letters about the impact Fast and Female and being active have had on them.
