Please consider making a donation to Girls on the Run Atlanta through this fundraising page!
As someone who was greatly impacted by athletics and running in my life, I am striving to pay it forward and support other girls at a pivotal time in their lives. According to research conducted by Girls on the Run Atlanta, 3 out of 5 girls feel "persistently sad or hopeless in 2023", a 60% increase since 2011, and feeling of loneliness by teen girls have consistently risen as well. However, this research also showed that 99% of girls (an astonishing number!) in a Girls on the Run program reported feeling like they below.
Girls on the Run provides evidence-based programs for pre-teen and teen girls to recognize their own inner strength, build friendships, gain confidence, becoming physically active, and have fun while doing it.
I know as a teen, sports provided me a place to connect, gain confidence, make meaningful friends, and build healthy habits. Please help me help other teen girls to have the same thing by making a donation today!
