Join us in celebrating our 25th anniversary by helping us provide 25 program scholarships to girls in Chicagoland's under-resourced communities!
Girls on the Run-Chicago (GOTRC) is a nonprofit afterschool program that provides a safe space for girls in 3rd-8th grade to uncover their superpowers! Each year, we serve more than 5,000 girls, with a focus on working in under-resourced communities across Chicagoland. With the help of hundreds of highly trained volunteer coaches, girls experience our researched-based curriculum that uses the power of play to turn big concepts into fun lessons that train a growth mindset so they can confidently thrive. At the end of the 10-week program, the girls come together as a team to participate in a 5K to celebrate all of their collective superpowers!
Since 1999, we’ve served more than 100,000 girls all across Chicago, helping them recognize their potential and rise above limiting gender expectations. But much more than just our enrollment has changed since our inaugural year. Since 2021, Girls on the Run-Chicago has begun building its program to focus on girls from under-resourced communities to ensure that all the wonderful aspects of our program are fully accessible to all girls regardless of financial capacity.
With every donation, at any level, we can reach more girls, promote physical health and emotional intelligence, and instill those critical life skills learned from participation in our programs. Just think, each gift, whether it's $25, $250, or even $2,500, contributes to raising more girls with confidence, competence, care, connection, and character.
Ready to take action? Invest in our girls, and help us raise $10,000, which will provide 25 program scholarships! Donate today, spread the word with the tag #GOTRC25, and let's celebrate 25 years of supporting girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident together.
