The Activyst Athletic Bag Helps Fund Girls' Sport Programs Worldwide
Meghan Young — April 11, 2013 — Social Good
It is easy for many to take for granted the myriad of ways to stay fit and healthy; those behind the creation of the Activyst Athletic Bag know that is not the case for everyone. In particular, creators Leigh, Katie and Blair have made it their mission to help raise funds in order to fund girls' sports programs worldwide. As they state on their Indiegogo page, "We believe stronger girls make a stronger world."
By purchasing an Activyst Athletic Bag, women (and men) have thus far been able to raise $75,000 for Soccers Without Borders in Nicaragua and Uganda. They have since set their eyes on raising another $75,000 for Girls Gotta Run in Ethiopia. Functional and fashion-forward, the Activyst Athletic Bag can do a lot of good in more ways than one.
