| Girls on the Run - St Louis |
|
|
2008 was a wonderful year for Girls on the Run! The GREAT news we have to share is our program has become well known and in high demand in the St. Louis community and YOU CAN HELP! This year over 45 schools have sought us out, requesting information on how they can make Girls on the Run a regular part of their after-school curriculum. In 2008, we trained and taught almost 1,000 girls. We granted $37,000 in scholarships. Over 2,400 students, runners, friends and families participated in our Spring and Fall 5K events at Tower Grove and Forest Park! Girls that complete our program leave with more than a sense of accomplishment for completing the 5K race. The character-building lessons equip the girls with essential life skills which not only benefit them but at the end of the season a Girl on the Run knows how her actions can positively affect the community around her.
Our vision is to expand our platform to provide our unique program to a much greater number of schools that reach across all socioeconomic boundaries to unite girls throughout greater St. Louis. They are on the waiting list to get the green light. We just need your SCHOLARSHIP support to make this happen in 2009. YOU CAN Help us reach our goal to raise $60,000 for scholarships in 2009 and serve 1500 girls by making a year-end gift. Your donation will help build the health of our youth here in St. Louis. I hope you will consider a gift of $10 to get this campaign rolling.
Please consider giving a gift for the health of our youth.
