#CleatsForHER: Let’s Lace Up 275 DCPS Girls for Football Season!

A campaign by FRSTeam Dryy, Dryy Garment Care & DC Divas’ Lois Cook for Dryy Run '25

This year’s Dryy Run 5K (to be held Saturday, June 21st in Union Market) isn’t just about fitness—it’s about EQUITY. While we race for wellness, we’re also racing to close the gap for girls in sports.

Too many are playing in worn-out, ill-fitting, or borrowed cleats—if they have any at all. Together, we’re changing that. We’re teaming up to #EmpowerHER with the gear these girls need to play safely, confidently, and at their best.

THE GOAL: Raise $18,000 to outfit 275 girls across 13 DCPS high schools with brand-new football cleats—because every young athlete deserves to step onto the field ready to dominate.

⚡ WHY THIS MATTERS:

✔ EQUITY – No girl should sit out because she can’t afford proper cleats.

✔ PRIDE – New gear = confidence on and off the field.

✔ IMPACT – Sports build leadership, discipline, and sisterhood. This is bigger than football.
