Give Big 4 Girls on the Run: Jessica's BDOG Match

For the first time since the pandemic, Girls on the Run is back at Marguerite Montgomery Elementary -- DJUSD's only Title 1 school. This season, 19 girls (including my daughter, Abigail) are practicing positive self-talk, learning Stick With It strategies for when times get tough, and applying practical tactics to work through big emotions -- all while training for a 5K. 

In these uncertain times, such life lessons about confidence and resilience are more important than ever. That's why I'm so proud to serve on the Board of GOTR and of the work the organization is doing to equip girls all across the Sacramento region with the tools they need to believe in themselves, support each other, and develop strength inside and out.

But we can only do this work with support from the community -- not only from our two amazing volunteer teacher coaches, but also through the generosity of individual donors like you.  

Will you join me in helping Girls on the Run show girls they can be joyful, confident, and healthy? Here's what your contribution supports: 

$50: Provide new running shoes for one scholarship recipient (about 50% of girls receive scholarships) 

$100: Provide new running shoes for two scholarship recipients (about 50% of girls receive scholarships) 

$185: Sponsor a scholarship and running shoes for one girl who could not otherwise participate (about 50% of girls receive scholarships) 

$250: Provide materials, resources, training and support for our volunteer coaches    

$500: Supply healthy snacks for 5 teams for an entire season   

$750: Provide new running shoes for a team of 15 girls 

I've made a goal of raising $2,775 to provide scholarships and new running shoes to 15 girls who otherwise wouldn't be able to participate. I'm also personally matching funds to help another 15 girls access this important programming.

By supporting Girls on the Run, you are making a tangible difference in the lives of girls in our community, providing them with essential life skills and the confidence they need to navigate life's challenges.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
