""Up to 60% to 70% of girls in physical education [P.E.] classes in Title 1 middle schools do not have a sports bra. That's what the P.E. teachers are telling us.""
""When you provide them with that assurance that it's completely normal what they're going through, and that everyone deserves to have a well-fitting sports bra, and that you deserve to feel comfortable moving your body, it's such an impactful moment.""
Bras for Girls supplies sports bras to economically disadvantaged girls, particularly in Title 1 middle schools. Many girls drop out of sports during puberty due to negative self-image and discomfort with their changing bodies. Lesko emphasizes that a well-fitting sports bra can encourage girls to stay active. The organization also offers educational resources about body changes and proper bra fitting, reinforcing the message that all girls deserve comfort and support in sports.
