Girls on the Run Piedmont

This doesn’t start at the finish line.

It starts with a girl who is quietly thinking…
“I can’t do this.”

And somewhere along the way, that becomes…
“I can.”

And then something even more powerful:
“I can do something that matters.”

That’s the moment we build toward.
Every practice. Every lesson. Every step.

The Problem 

By the time girls are nine, something shifts.

Confidence begins to drop.
Comparison creeps in.
And many girls start to shrink themselves to fit a world that feels too loud, too fast, and too demanding.

This isn’t just a phase.

It’s a trajectory.

And if we don’t interrupt it early, it follows them into middle school, high school… and beyond.

What Girls on the Run Really Is

Girls on the Run is not just a running program.

It’s a prevention program.

We create a space where girls learn how to:

• understand and navigate their emotions
• build real, healthy friendships
• quiet negative self-talk
• stand up for themselves and others
• and do hard things—even when they don’t feel ready

We use movement as the tool.

But the outcome?

Girls who know who they are.
Girls who trust themselves.
Girls who are ready for what comes next.

The Moment That Changes Everything

Every season ends with a 5K.

But it’s not really about the race.

It’s the moment a girl realizes:

“I didn’t think I could do this.”

And then she does.

You can see it on her face.
You can feel it in the crowd.

That moment doesn’t stay at the finish line.

She carries it into her classroom.
Her friendships.
Her future.

Why Your Support Matters

It costs about $440 to serve one girl for a full season.

Families don’t pay that.

Because we believe every girl deserves to be here—regardless of her financial situation.

So we bridge the gap.

We provide scholarships.
We equip coaches.
We make sure no girl is turned away.

That only happens because of people like you.

Your Impact

When you give, you are not just supporting a program.

You are helping a girl:

• raise her hand in class for the first time
• speak up instead of staying silent
• try something she once believed was impossible
• become someone who doesn’t just believe in herself…
  but believes she can make a difference

Ways to Give

Every gift matters. Every dollar moves a girl forward.

• $25 → Helps provide program materials and supplies
• $175 → Supports a girl’s program registration
• $440 → Fully sponsors one girl for an entire season

Or choose an amount that is meaningful to you.

This is your chance to be part of something bigger.

Because a community that gives doesn’t just survive.

It changes what’s possible.

If she can run a mile, she can run the world.

And with your help…

she will.
