Girls on the Run Community Impact Project

Towards the end of each season, every Girls on the Run team creates their own Community Impact Project.  These projects are led by the girls; they are responsible for planning, marketing, etc.  This project gives participants a strong sense of ownership and accomplishment, while also leaving them walking away feeling empowered and realizing the very real impact they can have on their community!  

This season the GOTR team has chosen a project to benefit the WakeMed’s Children’s Hospital:

They will be collecting gifts from this wish list throughout the coming week.  Please consider supporting their efforts and brightening the day of a patient at WakeMed Children’s.  More information about WakeMed’s program can be located here.  All Donations must be returned by Friday, December 15th.
