YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING

In addition to a wide array of corporate, nonprofit and philanthropic partners, BOWA Gives is proud to be an official partner of the Chicago Park District.

We intentionally engage with organizations and partners who align with our three pillars: Wellness & Sport, Mentorship & Support and Workforce & Career

  • Children participating in a track and field event outdoors on a cloudy day, with a group of young girls in the foreground and other children running on a track in the background.
  • People lined up receiving bags of supplies at a charity event inside a large indoor space with high ceilings and patterned carpet.
  • A group of people wearing white shirts with red and black text, standing outdoors in a parade or event on a sunny day, with trees and city buildings in the background.
  • A group of women seated in a circle in a conference room, participating in a discussion panel with a large screen behind them displaying the text 'Conversations with #BOWAwomen'.
  • Group photo of ten people, four adults seated at tables covered with blue and yellow tablecloths, and six young adults standing behind, inside a room with large windows, balloons, and a banner that reads "A BELAMANDLA HIGH SCHOOL."
  • Two women cleaning up leaves and debris on a tennis court, using a black trash bag and a shovel, with a fenced park and other people in the background.
  • Two smiling women sitting behind a table with BOWA Construction branding at an outdoor event. The table has informational pamphlets, red wristbands, blue jet scarves, and a prize wheel. Behind them, a whiteboard has a question about dogs. Other people are visible in the background, one holding a small child, and the setting appears to be on a sidewalk next to a brick building.

SIGNATURE EVENTS

In addition to ongoing, year-round programming, BOWA Gives hosts several signature, annual events for girls across the Midwest.

  • In conjunction with ‘National Women and Girls in Sports Day,’ the Girls’ in Sports Summit is a 2-Day event that provides girls with an opportunity to meet professional athletes, participate in panel discussions and breakout sessions and take part in a friendly track and field competition. 

  • Through hosting events and partnering on career fairs that highlight access to jobs in the fields of Architecture, Construction and Engineering (ACE), girls gain exposure to new fields and post grad opportunities, growing our next generation of leaders.

  • BOWA Gives partners with local organizations and elected officials to support community events with interactive activations as well as informational tables highlighting upcoming programming. These engagements provide students with resources to start the school year prepared while fostering meaningful connections between families, schools, and community leaders.

  • To kick off the annual Girls’ in Sports Summit, BOWA Gives hosts an afternoon of healthy movement for girls of all ages and athletic abilities.
