Tonight, Councilman Bill Peduto will be a guest at the Strong Women Strong Girls Jump into Spring jump-rope-a-thon. More than 200 girls and adult supporters will participate in this jump-rope event, which will raise money for the foundation.  Other celebrity guests will include Teresa Conn, founder of the Pittsburgh Passion, and members of the Pittsburgh Steelers team.

Strong Women Strong Girls is an after school program for underprivileged girls in grades 3 -5.  The goal of the program is to help these girls build positive self-esteem and skills that will make them into strong women.  Girls are paired with undergraduate women from local colleges to serve as mentors.
