Here is a little more information about them to help you understand why they were chosen & what they will do with all the money we raise at this fabulous event!
The official mission of Girls on the Run of Coconino County is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
How do they do this? Through experiential after-school programs in (3rd-8th grade) that teach and allow girls to develop self-respect and value healthy- living. All of the self-esteem enhancing, uplifting and fun! lessons are combined with training for a 5k run at the end of their session and a service project that gives the girls the tools to make positive choices for themselves & their communities. After explaining this group to my 60+ year old mom she said "they need to have this for older women too!"
Money raised at LUNAFEST will go toward providing scholarships for girls that wouldn't be able to afford the program. EVERY girl deserves this program and your donation will prevent money from being a limiting factor.
