SCHEELS

Thank you SCHEELS for your generous support of BIO Girls as an Official Partner.

SCHEELS is an employee-owned and operated sporting goods and entertainment chain store headquartered right here in Fargo, North Dakota. They operate 34 stores across 16 states.

They have been a long-standing supporter of the BIO Girls mission, dating back to 2019. Since 2022, the organization has been backing the BIO Girls mission as an Official Partner providing over $20,000 in financial support annually.

While monetary support is a catalyst in the expansion and growth of BIO Girls across the Midwest, their support extends much further.

“We are proud to partner with SCHEELS, an organization that invests heavily in the communities in which they serve. SCHEELS was the first Official Partner to pledge a three-year commitment to enable BIO Girls' bold growth goals which will positively impact the health of the communities we mutually serve. We are thankful for the continued support as we work to reach 1 in 6 North Dakota girls with our mental wellness programming."

- Missy Heilman | Founder & Executive Director

Why BIO Girls?

This unique partnership is rooted in strong similarities in values and community impact. You’ll find BIO Girls programs across the Midwest… and SCHEELS stores in many of those same communities.

"SCHEELS is honored to support such an amazing organization which makes a very positive impression on so many girls across the area. It’s truly humbling to see the impact BIO Girls makes within our communities and the young lives they mentor. We look forward to partnering with them and helping to make a difference in our communities."

All in on BIO Girls

The SCHEELS team takes their involvement with BIO Girls to the next level, continuously going above and beyond.

Hundreds of Scheels employees donate their time, talent and treasure annually to support our mission. From serving as mentors in communities across the midwest to volunteering on our Board and various committees, there is a SCHEELS presence felt across our organization.

Within their stores, we have been selected as the Give Back Charity for their signature private shopping events, providing crucial funding while also an opportunity to share our mission with their loyal customers. SCHEELS continues to brainstorm creative ideas to fuel the mission of BIO Girls through their valued partnerships, stores and teams.

And probably most memorable for our team was their incredible presence at our 2024 Find Your Kind 5K where over 100 SCHEELS Marketing & Events associates lined the race course to cheer on our BIO Girls & community runners as they crossed the finish line in the pouring rain. From their loaded water station to pom poms, cowbells and signs, they showed up in a BIG for our girls. Their team brought an indescribable energy that we still reflect on over a year later.
