Last week Friday, AEF hosted the 28th annual Knowledge Open golf event. ⛳Events don't happen without a lot of volunteer support - from planning all the way to event day ex*****on. Many thanks to all our volunteers who made the outing happen! Course set up and clean up, raffle ticket sellers, putting contest hosts, team photo takers, grant station hosts, and hospitality cart drivers. Thank you! *Not all volunteers are pictured, but all are very much appreciated! 💜💚

Calling all coaches who currently coach girls, plan to, or are interested in becoming a better coach for a FREE training to learn how to best support their female athletes.

The Women's Fund for the Fox Valley Region girl-led event, More Than the Medal, was created through our 2025 Girl-Powered Giving program where the girls wanted to help girls like themselves have coaches who can support, uplift, and encourage them.

Join them Tuesday, August 4, for an educational morning led by the Coaching HER through The Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport.

This event is provided at no cost, but registration is strongly encouraged to ensure they have enough food for attendees. Register here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/yKwUhoV
