Educating girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.

Inspiring girls to be joyful, healthy and confident.

 

Did you know? 

• You live in a community where 7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough. 
• You live in a community where over 50% of the girls live in a household that make below the “living wage” with over 17% of those girls living in poverty.
• And physical activity levels decline starting at age 10 and continue to decrease throughout adolescence. 

 

Maya, a 4th grader who lives in your community, is very shy and withdrawn from those around her, and like many other girls, she has difficulty expressing herself and making friends. As Maya gets older these characteristics could lead to risky behavior and unhealthy decision making. Should Maya hear the statistics above and let them be a deciding factor in what she can become and what she will do? NO!

 

That is why Maya needs YOU!

 

She needs YOU to experience a program that is innovative within the field of social-emotional learning, fosters and develops life skills and values her as someone who has meaningful things to share and give to the world. Maya needs YOU to give her the opportunity in participating in Girls on the Run!

 

This fall over 400 girls want to participate in Girls on the Run of the Shenandoah Valley. Girls just like Maya, who need that gift to open the pathway that leads them to activating their limitless potential. Will YOU provide that gift to a girl like Maya? 

 

Can we count on YOUto make a commitment to empower a girl to shine her light on the world? 

 

YOUR  $50, $100, or $150 gift will support and inspire each girl to be a joyful, healthy and confident leader!

A Power Up Activity Kit by Girls on the Run will help keep your girl active and heathy through the summer while inspiring creativity, encouraging movement, and teaching her new skills.

 

Designed to fuel your girl’s mind, body and spirit, the kit includes 50 activities that emphasize the important connection between physical and emotional health. Each activity helps girls learn important skills such as how to cope when things get difficult, demonstrate care for self and others, and practice positivity. From the silly starters to the fun movement games and challenges, your girl will laugh, create, and grow through each activity.

Whether their counting miles on the trail, laps in a pool, reps in the weight room, or downward dogs in the studio, all SoleMates share in a common desire to be champions for girls in the place they call home.
