YOU CAN MAKE HER FUTURE
Your gift to Girls on the Run activates girls' limitless potential. Girls on the Run of Portland Metro is excited to announce the launch of its first official fall season beginning September A recent independent study provides compelling evidence that Girls on the Run is highly effective at driving transformative and lasting change in the lives of third to fifth grade girls. Throughout the course of the ten-week program, girls learn critical life skills including managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others and making intentional decisions. It is the combination of the research-based curriculum, trained coaches and a commitment to serve all girls that sets Girls on the Run apart from other after-school programs.
"I want to change the world by doing big things."
There will also be a silent auction where you can bid on items donated from local vendors held through 6 pm on Friday, November 23! At Girls on the Run we know that every girl is full of potential and power. During our end-of-season 5K, each girl is reminded of that power as they cross the finish line. We are excited to announce our end-of-season 5k will be on Saturday, December 4, , at Georgia State Stadium.
This fall, each Girls on the Run team will host their own small-scale 5K celebration, and you can join them in spirit by participating in our Virtual 5K! This November and December, our Fall teams are wrapping up their seasons with small-scale 5Ks at their schools or community sites throughout Chicagoland. We are looking for volunteers to support coaches by completing tasks like setting up and tearing down the course, passing out medals, and, of course, cheering on the girls. This is a great opportunity to give back to girls in your community while seeing our program in action! Congratulations to our SoleMate charity athletes on accomplishing the incredible goal of running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 10! Click below to learn about their impact on the lives of Chicagoland girls. The Girls on the Run 5K is the culminating event of our program, when the girls put all of their social-emotional lessons and physical training into action to achieve a big goal! Volunteers serve in many ways leading up to and during the event, and we are recruiting volunteers for opportunities with both Girls on the Run-Chicago and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon staff. At Girls on the Run-Chicago we envision a world where every girl is free to boldly pursue their dreams.
