Building on its commitment to support youth mental health, connectivity and resiliency, Blue Cross NC encourages participation in sports and an active lifestyle that supports physical and mental well-being. By partnering with youth, parents and community leaders like Carolina Athletics, Blue Cross NC believes there is opportunity to help reduce stigmas associated with mental health for young people in sports.
The NGWSD event includes mini-clinics with each sport, giving kids the opportunity to try out a variety of skills in a fun environment that's appropriate for youths of all ages. The majority of the 15 UNC women's varsity teams – cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, swimming & diving, track & field and volleyball – will be represented at the event.
