This fall, Girls on the Run of Northern Arizona will welcome hundreds of girls to a season of connection, confidence, and discovery - and we need your help to ensure every girl can cross the finish line, no matter her financial circumstance. Our goal is to raise $10,000 toward our "Help Her Move Mountains" scholarship and gear drive.
These funds will go directly toward our anticipated need of:
- $40,000+ in scholarship support for girls who need financial assistance
- 175 pairs of running shoes
- 150 sports bras to help girls feel confident and comfortable
When a girl feels supported, she can show up fully with mind, body, and heart. Your gift helps ensure that no girl is turned away from the life-changing experience of Girls on the Run.
This year, we are excited to introduce our new curriculum, "Hello, Mountain Mover!" This fresh, dynamic season will encourage girls to recognize their inner strength, connect with others, and boldly take on new challenges. With each lesson, girls learn to move forward with courage, compassion, and confidence - and we want every girl to be there when the season starts.
Girls on the Run is the only physical activity-based, positive youth development program just for girls, grounded in decades of research and proven to work. Independent studies show: Girls on the Run has greater impact than organized sports and PE programs in teaching life skills like managing emotions, setting goals, and making intentional decisions; Teachers and schools see the difference, noting stronger school climate, improved peer relationships, and a greater sense of belonging among participants; And perhaps most importantly, the benefits of Girls on the Run last long after the season ends.
With your help, we can remove the barriers that stand in her way, whether it’s the cost of registration or access to proper gear, so she can stand tall, run strong, and discover the unstoppable force she already is. Let’s move mountains for her so she can move the mountains in her life.
