This past weekend, Stride was the beneficiary of NENSA Women’s XC Ski Day hosted at Rikert Nordic Center. Truly an inspiration to be surrounded by the faces and stories of confident, resilient and ambitious women. Make sure to check out Trail to Gold: The Journey of 53 Women Skiers written by US Olympic Women Cross-Country Skiers from 1972 to 2018. Here’s to a full day of reminiscing and celebrating the accomplishments of our female ski athletes from the beginner level to the Olympic level. Thank you to NENSA, Rikert Nordic Center and all of the women who gave so generously to Stride and supported our mentoring efforts to empower girls to be strong athletes and future leaders.

Stride's Annual Celebration!
Thank you to everyone who came down to Notte on April 5 to celebrate Stride's mentors and mentees. We had our best event ever with nearly 100 in attendance. We raised $2,000 for our mission to empower girls through sports and mentoring!
Special thank you to those who donated to our raffle and silent auction. Many of you make unique works of art especially for this event and we are honored to have these items available only at our party!
