Celebrate 15 Years and Help Us Raise $50,000
Fifteen years ago 13 brave girls joined a never-heard-of-before program called Girls on the Run and spent ten weeks learning critical life skills while finding connections with their peers. At the end of this 10 weeks, the very first Girls on the Run program in McHenry County concluded with each girl receiving her medal after the celebratory 5K. This moment catapulted Girls on the Run into Northwest Illinois and we have served over 12,000 girls since that first fall season.
With growth came the need to make sure our program is accessible and Girls on the Run on average provides over $130,000 in funding so that every girl knows she belongs here.
In celebration of serving our community for 15 years, the Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois Board of Directors has committed to raising $50,000. And thanks to a generous offer from the Foglia Family Foundation to MATCH if we reach our goal of $50,000, your dollar can turn into $100,000 for Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois, which will provide funds so that Girls on the Run is here for the GOTR Girls of the future!
