At our STARS Series site in Staten Island, PS 44, we had the incredible opportunity to welcome over 20 Nike store volunteers from NYC/NJ for an unforgettable celebration to close out Women’s History Month. With more than 60 enthusiastic girls in attendance, the day was filled with inspiration, movement, and empowerment.
The event kicked off with a powerful video presentation of Nike’s now-iconic “So Win” campaign, featuring trailblazing female athletes like, Sha’Carri Richardson and Caitlin Clark. After watching, we opened the floor for a Q&A session, giving our girls a chance to share their thoughts on how the ad made them feel and what it meant to see strong women in sports.
Then, it was time to get moving! We transformed the PS 44 gym into the ultimate sports training ground, featuring 10 activity stations focused on four key sports—track and field, soccer, basketball, and football. The energy in the room was electric as the girls rotated through each station, working on fundamental drills, pushing their limits, and cheering each other on. The 4th and 5th graders not only worked together but also brought out their competitive spirit, racing to claim first place.
To wrap up the day, each participant received a swag bag filled with sports goodies—ensuring the fun and play continued long after the event.
This was the perfect way to close out Women’s History Month 2025, celebrating strength, perseverance, and the power of sport. A huge thank you to Nike for your unwavering support and commitment to empowering our girls!
