The Colgate Women's Games is the nation's largest amateur track series open to all girls from elementary school through college. Held at Brooklyn 's Pratt Institute, competitors participate in preliminary meets and semi-finals over five weekends throughout December and January. Finalists compete for trophies and educational grants-in-aid from Colgate-Palmolive Company. Our goal is to provide an athletic competition that helps the participating young girls and women develop a strong sense of personal achievement, self-esteem, instill the importance of education and provide a training ground for those who might not otherwise participate in an organized sport.
