The #FNLFam celebrates Women’s History Month
Finish Line has teamed up with PUMA to celebrate women all month long! March is officially International Women’s Month so we’ve assembled a roster of influential and inspiring women whose stories will be elevated throughout the month.
We’re kicking it all off on International Women’s Day, March 8, with exclusive PUMA product, special offers through our STATUS loyalty program and a Community Voices episode presented by PUMA, featuring a panel of women outlined below.
On top of all of our International Women’s Day celebrations in partnership with PUMA, we also plan to have Community Voices episodes all month long that feature empowering, fearless females. Don’t forget to tune in on Instagram every Friday throughout the month to hear these women’s stories, and continue to celebrate with us and our #FNLFam.
We will kick things off this Friday with two powerhouse sisters, Jordyn and Jodie Woods. Make sure to tune in, and thank you for celebrating women all month long with us!
