Julie
Foudy to Discuss Title IX Events at Charity Luncheon for
G.U.T.S. (Girls Understanding Their Strengths)
National
Council of Women's Organizations Chairperson Martha Burk will
be the keynote speaker at a charity luncheon on Monday, March
3, 12:00 noon, to introduce a new women's sports organization.
The new organization, co-founded by the San Diego Spirit and
Pacific Women's Sports Foundation (PWSF), is dedicated to helping
promote and advance the progress of women's sports in San Diego.
Burk
will head an impressive list of orators for the event. Spirit
captain and Title IX Commission member Julie Foudy will discuss
the recent Title IX situation. Donna Fox, San Diego Sunfire
women's professional football team owner, will give a brief
overview of the Gridiron Girls program. Spirit general manager
Dave Presher and PWSF director Jody Sims will introduce and
provide details of the new organization.
Proceeds
from the charity luncheon will benefit the Girls Understanding
Their Strengths (G.U.T.S.) program sponsored by the PWSF. G.U.T.S.
is an after-school curriculum to help girls redefine a sense
of self and a sense of power to make positive choices and to
encourage greater participation in sports and physical activity.
G.U.T.S. provides real solutions for girls at-risk in our most
under-served communities. The program focuses on physical activity
and sports; healthy eating; positive self image; role models;
and self- expression. Girls learn teamwork, leadership skills,
sportsmanship, confidence, and trust.
Tickets
for the charity event, priced at $30 per plate (tickets are
$40 at the door) or $300 for a table of 10 including a company
sign and a donor list exposure, can be purchased by calling
