Dear Chairman Mollohan:

I am requesting funding for the GoGirIGo! Atlanta Initiative in fiscal year 2010.

The entity to receive funding for this project is the Women's Sports Foundation in
Atlanta, GA, 3525 Piedmont Road, N.E., Building 7, Suite 102, Atlanta, GA, 30305.

Funding will be used for mentoring, education and development program targeting at-risk
teens to prevent drop-outs, truancy, crime, violence and drug abuse by promoting
participation in sport and physical activity during after school hours when teens are at
greatest risk for dysfunctional social behaviors.

I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any financial interest in this project.

Sincerely,

eWls
ember of Congress
