This holiday season, I am raising funds for an organization near and dear to my heart – Girls on the Run of the Bay Area. We inspire girls to be braver, bolder and more confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
I deeply believe in this program and have served as a Board member and Coach. I'll be coaching this Spring Season again here in San Francisco.
Last year we served 1,752 girls in the Bay Area, and are looking to grow this year. Just under half of our participants live in under-resourced areas across the Bay and we work hard to fundraise to provide scholarship aid and new sneakers to 70% of participants.
Any amount is appreciated and tax deductible. I will personally match donations made today through Jan 15th. Mike and my companies will match too so every donation will have 4x the impact: $1 becomes $4, $50 becomes $200 donated!
Here are a few ways your dollars make a difference:
$45 – Shoe Drive – outfit a girl in need with new shoes for race day
$100 – train a team of Coaches to lead a team
$250– sponsor a scholarship to cover some program fees for the upcoming Spring season
$500 – sponsor transportation for a team of girls in need to get to the 5K whose parents work on weekends
I'd be grateful for any donation you're able to make!
Megan
