End of Year Scholarship Campaign

GOTR is a non-profit afterschool program focusing on girl empowerment and we just launched in Miami. This fall we have 26 girls and we have big plans to expand to serve 100 girls. We specifically target 3rd through 5th-grade girls with programming that combines running with critical life skills before girls' overall physical activity and confidence levels decline. We inspire girls to be healthy and strong over a 10-week program that culminates in a celebratory 5K. 

Why support GOTR? Girls on the Run is the only national physical activity-based, positive youth development program for girls with evidence of impact. A 2023 report from the U.S. Surgeon General emphasized the connection between physical and mental health among children and adolescents. GOTR was highlighted for its impact on girls’ overall physical activity and critical life skills like resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions. GOTR continues to make a compelling impact in the lives of adolescent girls by positively impacting the social, emotional, and physical well-being of program participants. GOTR has impacted the lives of over 2 million girls nationally since its founding in 1996. Our founding board is eager to find innovative ways of expanding our program impact and delivering GOTR’s proven curriculum to all of the girls of South Florida.
