The Bears first launched the Celebrating Women and Girls in Sports theme during training camp this summer, dedicating a public practice to empowering the team’s female fans, female athletes and female professionals. The team then expanded those efforts into a game dedicated to Celebrating Women and Girls in Sports, which honors the trailblazers, leaders and rising women who continue to shape the future of the organization.

“The Chicago Bears are committed to fostering productive conversation, action and development for girls in athletics,” said Sarah Smith, Bears vice president of fan development & brand marketing. “This first ever game for the Club is a celebration of our season long emphasis and priority to use our platform to celebrate and uplift women and girls in sports.”
