BACK TO SCHOOL WITH WONDER GIRLS

We are super pumped to host our third annual WONDER GIRLS WELLNESS campaign this month, just in time for all the kiddos to go back to school!   This time of year is the best time to start incorporating healthy habits into your everyday schedules from getting into a good sleep pattern to drinking more water, exercising, and eating balanced meals and snacks to help nourish your body.   This is why, every September, our main focus is to teach our girls the importance of self-care, mental health, nutrition, and exercise so they can start the school year on the right foot!  

“It’s important to teach teens and children healthy habits while they are young so that they grow into healthy adults.  While our core program focuses on specific business-related components, we care about the overall well-being of our Wonder Girls.  We want to teach self-care and healthy habits that will help our girls to stay strong both physically and mentally because we know that when we feel good, we look good, we do good!” says Natalie Maniscalco and Irene Zervoudis, co-founders of Wonder Girls.

This year’s campaign is sponsored by Hologic, Goya Cares, Varsity House, and Goosehead Insurance. Thank you to all our sponsors for your support of our mission!

Be sure to tune into our social media platforms to learn from industry experts and even some of our ambassadors.

We will end the month off strong with our annual Wonder Girls Wellness Day | Fitness Fundraiser, an in-person event packed with workshops, panel discussions, prizes, swag bags, and so more!  This year’s fundraiser will be held once again at Varsity House in Orangeburg, New York on Friday, September 29, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
