Today is Wednesday, February 5, is National Girls and Women in Sports Day (#NGWSD).


In honor of this great day, the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Coalition (WCWC) is launching #ThankYouMonth.


The WCWA is calling upon all of those involved in women’s wrestling to make a post on social media thanking individuals and/or organizations who have provided opportunities for them to participate.


This thank you campaign can include athletes, coaches, parents, administrators, fans and others, both female and male, who want to publicly thank someone for helping build and expand wrestling for girls and women.

Those who post on Wednesday are asked to include hashtags #NGWSD and #ThankYouMonth on their social media post.

In addition, in order to increase visibility, people are asked to also include a graphic, photo or video of themselves participating in women’s wrestling, to show the world what female wrestling looks like.


The graphic in this story can be used as well, if you don’t have a photo or video to go with your thank you message.
.


Let’s have some fun, thank some deserving people who have helped expand women’s wrestling, and let more people learn about women’s wrestling.:

Later today, USA Wrestling will post the following…
