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

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.
