Support the continuation of funding for the Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) program.
Why is this important?
Due to budget cuts that affect State Parks facilities and programming, Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) is at risk of losing funding. BOW is an outdoor education program that invites Illinois women from all walks of life to gather together and learn skills that she needs to enjoy the great outdoors in a safe and responsible manner. BOW provides a supportive environment that allows women to gain confidence to perfect a variety of physical and mental skills. Thanks to a generous scholarship program, BOW remains accessible to women of all economic backgrounds, promoting participation from women who would otherwise be unable to attend for economic reasons. More information about the BOW program can be found on their website http://www.dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt/bow/
