For the third year, I am volunteering for the Girls on the Run Philadelphia's associate board! My goal this year is to raise $500, which will help sponsor one girl for the year.
Girls on the Run is a transformational activity-based youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. We teach life skills through running games, and the program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K at the end of the season.
We are working hard to make sure every girl who wishes to participate in our sports-based youth development program can. Over 55% of our participants come from families with an annual income of less than $29,000, and each season over 75% of our girls receive scholarship support to participate in the program.
I hope you will join me in supporting this wonderful organization and unleashing the limitless potential of girls today!
