Based in Woburn, MA, Joan Norton, CMFC, RFC, LLC, is a financial advisor and founder of a full-service advisory firm. Active in the community, Joan Norton supports the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, and the Women’s Sports Foundation in New York City.

The nonprofit Women’s Sports Foundation was established in 1974 by Billie Jean King as a way to ensure that all girls have access to sports. To this end, the organization supports several programs, including GoGirlGo!

Introduced in 2001, GoGirlGo! is the nonprofit’s landmark educational program established to get girls moving, as two out of three girls are not getting enough exercise. The program provides funding to other organizations that work with girls, providing curriculum for these organizations, as well as more than $5.6 million in funding.

Recently, GoGirlGo! held a leadership institute at the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis and Learning in New York. A total of 30 program leaders learned more about the curriculum and ways to implement it into their programs.
