Foundation donates to Girls on the Run

The Foundation is very pleased to donate to the Girls on the Run Program in Bellingham through the Whatcom Family YMCA.

GIRLS ON THE RUN OF NORTHWEST WASHINGTON

WHO WE ARE

Over a period of ten weeks, girls in the 3rd through 5th grade participate in an after-school program like no other.

Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

This program sounds so much like Emily and I think that she would be very proud to support it!

These words are from the coordinator: "Thanks so much for supporting Girls on the Run over these years.It means alot when a family asks for a scholarship and we can say Yes without hesitation.Emily's legacy and impact continues in these little Whatcom County girls as they find their strength and determination to complete a 5K at the end of the season-usually with big smiles to boot! Emily helps make that happen."
