The Varsity Squad was initiated in 2007 with high school female leaders because they wanted to make a difference in their communities. Members of the Varsity Squad lead healthy lifestyle workshops for younger girls in the community. Workshops include three sports and fitness, nutrition and leadership activities. In the spring, members design and lead the annual Girls' Summit, a day of healthy lifestyle activities for all the girls who attended a Varsity Squad workshop throughout the program year. Girls in the Game staff train and guide the Varsity Squad, but members are responsible for choosing the topics covered and implementing the workshops. In exchange, members earn scholarship dollars for each workshop they lead. Although financial need is not a prerequisite, most of the girls in the Varsity Squad are first generation college hopefuls who need funds to attend school. Members earn $100 in college scholarship dollars for every training they attend or workshop they lead. Members must attend all trainings and lead at least three workshops in order to receive their scholarships, which are paid directly to their schools. Additionally, each year members choose a winner of the Team Captain Award, which gives one extraordinary leader an additional $100 scholarship. Scholarships earned through this program are reported as an expense in the year of the award. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 AMY SKEEN 94919 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8843 0 103762 0 0 0 X Supplies 14 29644 fair market value 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 THE FINANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE 990 PRIOR TO BEING FILED, AND IF NECESSARY, SUBMITS QUESTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE CPA FIRM WHO PREPARED THE RETURN.
