Sophie's Girls on the Run Fundraiser

Did you know that by the end of 5th grade, girls' self esteem is locked in place?! Well, here's the good news: Girls on the Run of Greater Sacramento is here to help and teach them how to shine - to be joyful, confident, and lift themselves and others up. 

As a lifelong girl-power enthusiast, former coach and now Board member, I know exactly how impactful this program is for our girls! I had the pleasure of being a running buddy in 2023 where I saw, in just 3 miles (and in between me gasping for air), all this program encourages - happiness, confidence, positive relationships and so much more!

Girls on the Run is a fun, evidence-based program that aims to inspire girls in the Sacramento area to build their emotional, mental, and physical health. The program combines a professionally designed curriculum with a 5K training plan encouraging girls to develop self-respect and make healthy decisions. They also build life skills such as confidence, kindness, and decision-making.  

Girls on the Run is committed to ensuring access for all participants, regardless of their financial situation. In 2024, nearly 800 girls participated. We aim to serve more, but we need your help! By supporting Girls on the Run, you will make 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.
