💃 From Passion to Possibility✨

We’re thrilled to introduce Dakota from Omaha, NE, a Winter 2024-2025 Meant to Move Grant recipient! 🎉

Dakota has been dancing since she was three years old, growing into a passionate and dedicated performer. She recently transitioned to a new studio, attending conventions, assisting with dance programs, and working toward her dream of studying dance in college.

Beyond dance, Dakota is a student leader, serving on student council and advocating for change. Dance has given her confidence, strength, and a powerful community, while also helping her develop resilience, leadership, and discipline.

Despite her dedication, the financial demands of training, competitions, and travel have been a challenge for her family. With the Meant to Move Grant, Dakota will gain access to specialized training, easing the financial burden and helping her continue to chase her dreams!

Join us in congratulating Dakota as she takes this exciting next step! 🎊👏

🔥 Meet Camila, our unstoppable 9-year-old force from Los Angeles and the latest recipient of the 2024-2025 Meant to Move Grant! 🔥

This girl is breaking down barriers every day—training year-round, leading her team as the only girl, and proving that baseball isn’t just for the boys! 💥⚾️

But Camila’s impact doesn’t stop there. She’s taking her passion to the next level with the “That’s a Girl” Baseball Initiative, inspiring other girls to STAY in baseball and crush the stereotypes that say they should switch to softball.

And her dreams? To snag a college scholarship, and one day—one day—suit up for the Dodgers! 😎✨ With her drive, focus, and relentless dedication, we have no doubt she’s going all the way.

We are SO proud to support Camila’s journey with the #MeantToMove Grant and can’t wait to see her light up the world of baseball!

Watch out, the future of baseball is HERE.

🎉From Hartsville to the Olympics

Meet Kaci: Our Winter 2024-2025 Meant to Move Grant Recipient!

We are SO excited to introduce Kaci, a 12-year-old gymnast from Hartsville, SC, as the latest recipient of our Meant to Move Grant! 🏅✨

Kaci has been passionate about gymnastics since she was 3, and after a break due to COVID, she’s come back stronger than ever! 💪 Gymnastics has not only helped her improve her physical skills but also boosted her confidence and built lasting friendships. 🤸‍♀️💖

Inspired by Olympic athletes like Rebecca from Brazil, Kaci dreams of one day competing at the highest level, and her commitment is contagious! But like many young athletes, the financial demands of the sport have been a challenge for her family. That’s where the Meant to Move Grant comes in! 🎉

With this support, Kaci will continue pursuing her gymnastics goals—both in the gym and in life. 🌟 We can’t wait to see where her hard work and determination take her!

Please join us in congratulating Kaci as she continues her journey toward greatness! 🎉🙌 #MeantToMove #EmpowerYoungWomen #GymnastDreams #SupportYouthAthletes by @movemeant

Empowering girls, one hike at a time 🏔️

We’re excited to announce the second recipient of our 2024-2025 Meant to Move Grant: Robert’s Hiking Club for Girls in NYC! 🍂

Robert, a dedicated teacher at a Title 1 school, leads this amazing program that connects girls from underserved communities to the healing power of nature. With 75% of participants being female, the club helps these students improve their physical & mental health through hiking. It’s the only full-time hiking program of its kind in NYC schools, bringing 35-45 high school girls together each hike to build confidence, resilience, and strong bonds. 💪

The only thing standing in their way? The cost of transportation. Thanks to Movemeant’s Meant to Move grant, we’re thrilled to help cover these costs, ensuring these young women continue their journey of growth and empowerment.

We’re so proud to support Robert’s Hiking Club and can’t wait to see the impact it will have on these incredible young women! 🍃🌱

✨ Glenwood Middle School Dance Program Highlights ✨

This Fall, 16 energetic 7th & 8th graders (15 girls and 1 boy) at Glenwood Middle School participated in a life-changing dance experience made possible by the Movemeant’s Meant to Move grant! 💃

Through the grant, the program provided:
👚 Team shirts to promote unity
💪 Practice tools to build skills
🍎 Healthy snacks to fuel their success
🎉 Celebratory gifts to honor their growth

The dancers bonded over learning choreographed routines, creating their own group choreography, and performing at events like the homecoming parade and a game-day performance with younger students!

As one parent said, “The grant gave my child a place to belong and grow. We are so grateful for this opportunity.”

The Meant to Move grant helped these girls develop confidence, teamwork, and self-worth. 💖
