The Women’s Intersport Network for Kansas City (WIN for KC) was established in 1994 to empower the lives of girls and women through advocating and promoting the lifetime value of sports and fitness, while providing opportunities for participation and leadership development.

WIN for KC exists because its volunteers and contributors believe in the physical and emotional well-being of females through involvement in sports and fitness. WIN for KC events and programs include participation and networking opportunities, leadership seminars, and promotions of women’s events. WIN for KC also recognizes girls and women’s contributions to sport and advocates for equal opportunities.
