Celebrate with us - National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). My daughter, Quinn Ferguson hosts this episode as she interviews me to discover how sports play a role in my adult life.
It was president Ronald Reagan, in 1987 who signed this proclamation for National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). It’s the 35th annual now, and it acknowledges the accomplishments of female athletes, recognizes the positive influence of sports for women and girls, and honors the progress and continuing struggle for equality for women in sports.

Women'sSportsFoundation.org is a big advocate for NGWSD. It’s a great organization that exists to unlock the possibilities in every girl and woman through the power of sport. The Women’s Sports Foundation dot org - strives for equality in sports and social justice too.
