Welcome to Our Site!

I am Paloma Wiggins. I am a Junior at Yellow Springs High School. I am the Director of Simply Women Ohio a small non-profit started nearly four years ago. Please click here for more information about the history of the organization and our annual 5k Event. The 2011 5k was great! We had a record turnout of 217 women and girls!

Our goals reflect the expanded reach of Simply Women Ohio:

  • Increasing participation of girls in sports and an overall lifestyle of health and fitness
  • Demonstrating and emphasizing how being part of a team or group of fitness-minded women can be fun and build a sense of community
  • Developing broader support structures in the Yellow Springs community for young women participating in sports and other healthy activities
