Queens, N.Y. - The St. John's volleyball team, in conjunction
with the Women's Sports Foundation, will host "GoGirlGo!" Game
Night on September 6, 2005. That night the Red Storm goes into
action against the Jaspers of Manhattan College at 7 p.m.
GoGirlGo! is a national initiative designated to help girls make
physical activity part of their lives. The mission of the GoGirlGo!
campaign is to get one million girls between the ages of 8 and 18
physically active in the next three years.
"We are really excited to help the GoGirlGo! Campaign reach
their goals," said head coach
Joanne Persico-Smith. "We as female athletes know of the great
benefits that come from being physically involved in sports and
activities."
The Red Storm volleyball team looks forward to a great night and
the amazing opportunity to get involved with the GoGirlGo! campaign
and the Women's Sports Foundation.

great Billie Jean King. The Foundation is a charitable education
