GoGirlGo! and GoKids Boston Open House Recap
On Thursday, July 15th, Go Kids Boston and the Women's Sports Foundation's GoGirlGo! Boston held an open house-style event at UMass Boston for local girls and their families to learn more about healthy eating & exercise activities. The afternoon featured a panel of local experts discussing unique nutritional needs for different cultures while Boston high school students presented healthy twists on popular dishes from their Latino and African cultures. City Councilwoman, Ayanna Pressley, kicked off the event as a featured guest speaker applauding programs like GoGirlGo! Boston and Go Kids Boston for what they do for the youth of Boston. Pressley went on to urge the girls in the room to "get out of your own way," adding that "we all know girls are made of sugar and spice, but you're made of muscle too. There is nothing you can't do!" Following opening remarks, the nearly eighty
young girls in attendance gathered at the Clark Athletic Center to participate in Zumba lessons and additional activities in the GoKids Boston Fitness Center.
