Running and Winning is a one day, interactive leadership workshop for junior and senior girls at one Tucson area high school each fall. The activity is coordinated and presented by the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson with current co-sponsors: the American Association of University Women and the YWCA of Southern Arizona.

We are grateful for the additional support of Southwest G
