Fight Rope Honors our Women in Sports.
The National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) is an annual day of observance held during the first week of February to acknowledge the accomplishments of female athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation for women and girls, and honor the progress and continuing struggle for equality for women in sports.
Each year since its inception in 1987, the United States Congress recognizes women's contributions to sports and society on a day during the first week of February.[3] NGWSD is celebrated annually across the United States and features community-based events, notable women athletes, awards, and other activities.
On February 3, 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5606 declaring February 4, 1987, as National Women in Sports Day, but we choose to honor and celebrate our female athletes every day in each and every one of their respected sport and pursuit of excellence.
Athletics play an important role in girls’ lives. Besides helping to establish a routine for a healthy, active lifestyle, sports build confidence, leadership skills, and the ability to work with a team.
Support girls and women athletics in your area. Get involved, and support our female competitors through their F.I.G.H.T. Fight Rope honors the achievements of female athletes, coaches and leaders and continues to Lead Her Forward by acknowledging the power of sports to unlock her limitless potential.
