Introducing National Sports Bra Squad Day
Save the date! We’re ditching our shirts and inhibitions on Saturday June 24th for a new national holiday - National Sports Bra Squad Day!
WHAT IS THE SPORTS BRA SQUAD?
The #SportsBraSquad started as a way for women to ditch their shirts along with their insecurities, and show the world what strength looks like. In 2015, the National Eating Disorders Association found that 70% of women don’t like their bodies. 70%! That’s a disappointing and frustrating statistic and the only way we can combat the self loathing and hatred women feel towards their bodies is to change the way we see strength.
But ditching your shirt for the first time can be terrifying! There's strength in numbers which is why on June 24th, Sports Bra Squads around the world will be coming together to show the world that our bodies are strong as hell!
Join one of our official group runs, organize your own, or fly solo! As long as you’re out there - owning the streets and feeling the freedom, you’re celebrating right. Tag @oiselle and use #NationalSportsBraSquadDay and #SportsBraSquad in social to share the fun.
