This giving season, you can help provide girls in the Philadelphia area the gift of confidence. Along with fellow board members, the goal is to raise funds to bring the life-changing Girls on the Run program to girls from underserved communities across the region.
The Immediate Impact: Your Gift is Doubled!
Your donation has a double impact right now. The dedicated GOTR Philadelphia Board of Directors has pledged a $27,000 board match.
Contributions to this fundraiser will be DOUBLED until the $27,000 match is met (through December 31st).
Where Your Donation Goes
Your contribution directly supports the core mission of making the GOTR program accessible to all girls who want to participate. Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade, teaching life skills through dynamic lessons and running games.
Because 70% of GOTR Philadelphia participants rely on scholarship support, your funds are critically needed to cover:
| Area of Impact | What Your Donation Provides |
| Program Scholarships | Funds the full program experience, ensuring no girl is turned away due to financial barriers. This is the single largest use of donation dollars. |
| Curriculum & Materials | Supplies the evidence-based lessons and tools (journals, activity sheets, etc.) that help girls build confidence, manage emotions, and stand up for themselves and others. |
| The 5K Celebration | Covers the cost of the end-of-season 5K running event, which is the moment girls unleash their confidence through accomplishment. This includes their 5K registration, official GOTR T-shirt, and finisher's medal. |
| Coach Support | Provides essential materials and training for the volunteer coaches who mentor and guide the girls through the 8-week season. |
The Program's Long-Term Impact
For over 13 years, Girls on the Run Philadelphia has inspired over 8,600 girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping girls establish a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness and unlocking their limitless potential.
