Brooke's 2020 MarineCorpsMarathon TGP Fundraiser

This year I will be raising money for and participating in the 2020 Marine Corps Marathon on The Grassroots Project Marathon Team! The Grassroot Project (TGP) is a community- based, non-profit organization that I have had the privilege of volunteering and interning with during college. TGP recruits and trains  NCAA student-athletes to serve as volunteer health educators in DC middle schools. TGP’s student-athlete volunteers help provide a health education curriculum that covers the topics of nutritional health, mental health, and sexual health in DC’s highest-need middle schools. This organization is so special because of the community it creates at every level of the organization. I have had the opportunity to meet the most incredible students, parents, teachers, and other volunteers, and I cannot thank them enough for what they have taught me. To give back I ask you to consider donating to this amazing organization!

TGP has mobilized more than 1,500 NCAA Division I athletes from five universities to provide more than 60,000 hours of free health education programs for thousands of DC teenagers. 

TGP's programs have been recognized as an innovative and effective method for promoting social empowerment and health literacy.  

TGP's work has been recognized with local, national, and international honors from the Clinton Global Initiative, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Economic Forum.
