The Grand Rapids Rise invite your students to "Game Changers" — an event designed to inspire and empower young female students. This FREE event is presented by Lake Michigan Credit Union, with support from former Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss and the Women's Advisory Council for the Grand Rapids Rise.

This engaging two-hour event connects middle and high school students with Rise head coach Cathy George and her team of professional female athletes. Students will participate in interactive discussions about key challenges young people face today. Topics include managing social media and mental health, overcoming perfectionism, building self-confidence, embracing individuality, and turning setbacks into opportunities for growth.

This free event is open to all female middle school students from Kent and Ottawa counties. Registration is now open. Due to limited space, early registration is recommended to secure your spot. Final event details — including drop-off, pick-up, and bus parking information — will be sent in early March. Questions? Contact Matt Batchelder at mbatchelder@grrise.com
