Chicks Play Hard

Chicks Play Hard was created by Anna Collins, an executive at Microsoft. The purpose is to empower young girls, get them interested in an activity at a time in their lives when they become more self-conscious about things like body image, and just have some fun.

This will be the 8th year for Chicks Play Hard and in these economic times, the event remains FREE for participants and completely volunteer led.

Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. For more information visit www.chicksplayhard.com.
