Fit & Firm Moms

This event is open to the public and free to attend with complimentary wine, light fare and a silent auction. Photographer Dorine Pederzani will be on-site to take your portrait with a "Glamour in Fitness" theme. Dress your best and celebrate the work you do to stay healthy and looking good!  

Advanced photo purchases are discounted and include a souvenir wine glass and an appointment time.   Proceeds from the event will be used for the Girls on the Run of Middle Georgia scholarships, which ensure that the program is available to all girls in Middle Georgia!  

Girls on the Run is an international organization, established in 1996, and currently operates in over 225 regions. Our council had its inaugural program this spring! The Middle Georgia council includes Houston, Bibb and Peach counties.   

The Girls on the Run program is targeted to two age groups, 3rd – 5th graders are "Girls on the Run" and 6th – 8th graders are "Heart and Sole".  Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8 – 15 girls, we will teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The 20-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing teamwork and understanding how we connect with, and shape, the world at large. Acknowledging that accomplishment has many flavors, each team creates and executes a local community service project. This experience demonstrates to girls the unimaginable strength that comes from helping others.  

At Girls on the Run, running is not just a metaphor. We use this activity to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies, complete a 5k running event —making the seemingly impossible, possible.     

Measurable Results:

• Academic evaluations of the program show a statistically significant improvement in body image, eating attitudes and self-esteem  

• Evidence also indicates an improved sense of identity and an increasingly active lifestyle for program participants
