Hello family and friends,
Happy 2021, last year was tough but we made it! We're looking at 2021 with hearts full of optimism. Girls on the Run was able to host a shortened fall season last year and provide outdoor in-person or virtual practices. This upcoming spring we will do the same but we anticipate having more teams, which means we will provide more scholarships. We are excited to have the program back not a full capacity yet but I know we'll get there. We currently already have over 200 girls signed up!
I am still serving on the Board of Directors, this year as the VP. I was a virtual coach last season at MLK Elementary in Seattle. It brought so much joy to be able to spend two afternoons a week connecting with these amazing little ladies. This pic is us at our socially distanced and masked K Your Way Event. The girls were encouraged to bring their running buddies and do laps (walk, run, hop, skip, even skateboard!) around the school at their happy pace.
If you can and you would like to support this program, here are some great ways of providing scholarships!
Ways you can help our girls and teams on scholarship:
$15 - You provide refillable water bottles for a team of girls!
$35 - You give 15 girls cherished medals for completing the end of the season K Your Way!
$70 - You provide team shirts for 15 girls!
$100 - You help keep our girls safe by funding CPR and First Aid for 4 coaches!
$170 - You provided a full scholarship for a season of our life-changing youth development program!
Other - Any amount helps girls in our community!
I appreciate your support and taking the time to care about a charity I deeply believe in. Thank you!
Best,
Jia
