Donations
As part of our mission and commitment to Austin and surrounding communities, we will bring the Girls on the Run program to all areas in need, but we need your help.
Many of the girls in our targeted locations are unable to pay and participate in the program. If you are interested in providing a program scholarship, please r DONATE. Scholarship amounts are from $25 to $125. A donation of $250 sponsors one girl for one season. This amount goes toward providing trained coaches, the GOTR curriculum, snacks, t-shirts and registration fees needed to support the program.
www.GOTRaustin.org About Girls on the Run GOTR is an after-school program that uses the power of running to help prepare pre-teen girls for a lifetime of self-respect, positive choices and healthy living. Over 12 weeks, girls are guided by trained volunteer coaches, and learn about the power of positive self-image. At the end of the semester, in celebration of their achievement, girls along with their families, coaches and volunteers participate in a local 5K race. |
