ABOUT "MORE THAN A GAME":
On Friday, Sept. 24, Seattle City Club is hosting a virtual program called “More than a Game” featuring women leaders from three of Seattle's sports teams: Seahawks, Kraken, and Sounders. While they aren’t players on the field, in the stadium, or on the rink, they are all playing a big role in how the sports sector is positively impacting our region. From fighting against racism to standing for LGBTQ+ equality and protecting our planet, they are all doing individual community work toward a united vision for improving the lives of everyone in the Pacific Northwest.
