| Girls on the Run is a non-profit 501-c3 with the mission of educating and preparing girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Powerful women and men role models lead 3rd-8th grade girls through a ten week program where they use fun running games and experiential activities to help girls learn about expressing themselves, making good choices, creating healthy habits and serving their community. The program culminates in a non-competitive 5k event which gives each girl a chance to shine and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The girls complete the program with a stronger sense of identity, a greater acceptance of themselves, a healthier body image and an understanding of what it means to be part of a team. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts.
Girls on the Run serving East Central Illinois is an affiliate council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of over 174 locations in the United States and Canada. There are over 1,500 girls in Coles county that need Girls on the Run to learn how to get plugged in to their true self, make healthy choices, and collectively make our community a better place!
Community support is vital to have a successful Girls on the Run council. Donations will help ensure that we can offer scholarships to families in need, have healthy snacks to provide to the girls, and have the materials needed for the bi-weekly lessons.Your donation will make it possible for each and every girl who wants to participate be a Girl on the Run!!!! |
