Girls on the Run® combines training for a 5K event with healthy living education. Our 12-week curricula address all aspects of girls' development - their physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being.

We use exercise, positive reinforcement, and encouraging role models to help girls discover the confidence they need in those critical pre-teen years and beyond. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games and discussing important issues, participants learn how to celebrate being their unique and real selves, how to be part of a team and how to positively contribute to their community. Our hope is that every girl believes and can say, "I belong just the way I am."

Girls on the Run would not be able to exist without strong community support. Sponsors and donors are needed so that we can continue to provide access to ALL girls who want to participate in our program, regardless of their ability to pay the registration fee. This year, over 70% of our girls received some level of financial aid and we granted over $87,000 in program scholarships.

Want to make sure that we are able to keep running and reach even more girls and families across Maricopa and Pinal Counties? By supporting Girls on the Run, you can make it possible for more girls to participate in our valuable program. As a nonprofit organization, your donations are essential. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

Our council envisions a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Your support will help make this possible.
