Girls on the Run of the High Country is made possible through the generous support of our local and national partners, individual and business donors, volunteers and community members.
Support Girls on the Run of the High Country
Help make a difference by empowering girls in the High Country!
Girls on the Run uplifts and inspires girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. We believe that EVERY GIRL is inherently FULL OF POWER and POTENTIAL. GOTR helps girls build friendships, develop essential life skills that increase their confidence and self-esteem, and make a positive impact on their community through service projects.
Ninety-seven percent of GOTR participants indicate they learned critical life skills including managing emotions, intentional decision-making, resolving conflict, and helping others. Participants also demonstrate increased engagement and performance in other areas of their lives.
Your support allows us to provide a fun and inclusive program for all of our GOTR participants. Contributions make a positive impact through volunteer training and by allowing us to enhance the GOTR experience through special activities and events, such as the "Energy Awards" where girls recognize each other for their efforts, kindness and the unique attributes that make them special.
