BAWSI

BAWSI is a program for young girls to encourage them to get active. Bay Area Women Sports Initiative (BAWSI) is a nonprofit organization to get women athletes out there and create healthy, hopeful lives. The goal is to make women athletes a more visible and valued part of the Bay Area. Some of the Santa Clara women sports teams volunteer at these events BAWSI holds for young girls. The teams go and help teach the girls how to play different sports, and also help them get moving and give them hope and goals. The people who work these events hope to give wholeness to these young girls' lives and encourage them to be proud to be a female athlete. Getting involved with BAWSI is a rewarding experience, and the girls are extremely appreciative.
