OUR MISSION:
We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
Why local girls need your support:
Girls on the Run Southeast WA is growing by leaps and bounds! In the past year alone, we have experienced amazing growth in the number of girls we serve. Our mission is to provide this program to EVERY girl, regardless of her family's ability to pay.
Although we have many families who are able to pay the full registration fee, there is an average of 45% of our participating girls who cannot pay the full amount. These are the girls who usually do not have other activities that they participate in. Girls on the Run is the ONE place where nearly half of our girls received quality life lessons and healthy activity.
How your gift will help:
$40 will provide a healthy snack at every practice for one girl
$50 will help us pay to use the school district fields at one school
$75 will provide program t-shirts for one team of girls
$100 will subsidize one of our girls who receives our highest financial support
$150 will provide a full scholarship for one deserving girl!
If you would like to sponsor a team of girls, please contact us for more information.
OUR PROGRAM:
Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Our core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development – their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons help girls make positive decisions to avoid risky adolescent behaviors. At the end of each program, the girls run a celebratory 5K to experience the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment. However, at Girls on the Run, the finish line is just the beginning, as our ultimate goal is to provide the girls with tools and resources that develop their ability to think critically - a skill that will serve them well for a lifetime.
THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF OUR HEROES!
