This holiday season, I’m raising funds for an organization near and dear to my heart — Girls on the Run of the Bay Area. My goal is $2,000.
I will personally match the first $1K donated - and thanks to Google & LInkedIn (where Mike and I work), we can get that matched 2x.
$45 helps us get 1 pair of new sneakers.
With our personal & company matches, we can give 4 pairs total from your 1 donation.
I’ve served on the Board for 5 years, coached 3 seasons (with my 4th coming up this Spring), and for the past 2+ years I’ve had the privilege of chairing our Board Fundraising Committee. This program isn’t just important to me — I’ve seen firsthand the impact it has on the girls we serve.
Here’s why it matters:
✨ Girls’ confidence drops dramatically after age 9.
GOTR steps in right at that moment, giving girls a space to build confidence, courage, connection, and healthy coping skills.
✨ 70% of our girls receive financial assistance.
We operate on a sliding scale and fund scholarships so that every girl — regardless of family income — can participate. We also provide brand-new running shoes for those who need them.
✨ It’s more than running.
This 10-week program integrates social–emotional learning, mindfulness, and teamwork with movement and exercise. We’re building bolder, braver girls — girls who trust themselves, lift each other up, and learn they can do hard things.
Your support helps ensure more girls across the Bay Area can access this life-changing program.
If you're able to contribute, big or small, it truly makes a difference.
Thank you for helping us empower the next generation of strong, confident girls. 💛
Thank you!!
And, if your company matches too - please request it!
Love,
Megan
