As the Board Chair of Girls on the Run Capital Region AND a former coach of the program, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact this program has on the lives of young girls in our community. Girls on the Run empowers girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through a fun, experience-based curriculum that integrates running. What makes it truly special is that it’s for every girl – no matter her background or circumstances.
This program is more than just an afterschool activity. It’s about building resilience, fostering self-confidence, and teaching life skills that will benefit these girls for years to come. Through each season, girls learn the importance of teamwork, how to set and achieve goals, and how to navigate challenges – all while having fun and being active.
But none of this would be possible without the generous support of people like you. As a board, we are committed to ensuring that Girls on the Run remains accessible to every girl in our region, regardless of her family’s financial situation. Your contribution will help provide scholarships, program materials, and the resources needed to bring this life-changing program to girls who need it most.
As the year comes to a close, I invite you to join me in supporting this vital work. I've set a personal goal to raise $1,500 to help with our local council's big end-of-year need. Your donation will have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young girls in our community, giving them the opportunity to grow into strong, confident young women. I will be personally matching $1,000 to help amplify your impact!
Together, we can help ensure that every girl has the chance to experience the transformative power of Girls on the Run.
