These are unprecedented times. Social distancing, while necessary is taking a toll on many. Businesses are in jeopardy of closing doors. People are feeling isolated, anxious and craving connection more than ever. The shutdown of recreational and pro sports leagues is leaving many of us searching for ways to stay engaged with the sports and teammates we love.

 

Help us help each other find strength in connection

In the wake of COVID-19 we’ve been talking to many women and businesses to understand how they’re feeling and how we can support them. At the heart of it all is a need for human connection. This is an ideal time to deepen our relationships and an opportunity to find new ways of interacting with one another to strengthen and encourage each other.  Join our virtual community and help us help each other.

 

SeeWhatSheCanDo.com is a place where you can share stories, hone skills, find resources, and talk to people and businesses who share your passion for adventure and physical activity. If you’re home alone or with your family and you're unsure of how to fill the time we want to offer you some ideas:

• Missing your team? Your sport? Adventure? The season may be over but there are still so many stories to tell. Visit us each week for new and encore stories that celebrate, inspire, and add a whole lotta light to your day.
• Feeling lonely? Shack wacky? Bored? Need some off-season training advice or inspiration? Start a conversation on our community board. Post some photos. Read stories and advice. Give someone a virtual fist bump. Talk about what you’re doing to get through this pandemic.
• Are you having difficulty keeping your business moving forward? While our platform has always been free to active women and their supporters, we are now waiving the fee for local businesses to join our virtual community. We have marketing experts on hand to help you find unique ways to amplify your voice and stay connected with women even if your doors are closed.  
• Have you found a way to keep your customers engaged with your business from home? Are you putting videos online? Live streaming? Running a challenge? Crafting healthy recipes or meals for meal delivery? Share what you're doing and we'll help spread the word.
