Girls on the Run
We are excited to be partnering with the Girls on the Run program this fall!

Trained coaches use physical activity and dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills while encouraging healthy habits for life. In today’s unpredictable world, the strategies learned at Girls on the Run are more important than ever. For more information visit: https://www.girlsontheruncentralohio.org/
However, there are real costs associated with operating a non-profit organization and delivering the Girls on the Run program to approximately 2,500 girls in the Central Ohio area each year.
