How Your Donations Fuel Confidence in GOTR Girls

The Impact of Your Support:

How Donors Make a Difference at Girls on the Run Worcester County

At Girls on the Run Worcester County, we believe every girl deserves a chance to discover her inner strength, build lasting confidence, and develop lifelong skills — regardless of her family's financial situation.

Thanks to generous donors like you, that vision becomes a reality.


๐Ÿ’ธ Where Your Donation Goes:

๐Ÿƒ‍โ™€๏ธ Program Scholarships

  • Many of our participants receive partial or full financial assistance.

  • Your support ensures that cost is never a barrier for a girl who wants to participate.

  • $195 covers the full cost of one girl’s season, including curriculum, materials, 5K registration, and gear.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ 5K Event Support

  • Your donation helps us provide a joyful 5K celebration at the end of every season

  • Funds support venue rental, race materials, safety logistics incuding police detail, volunteer coordination, and finisher medals.

๐Ÿ“š Coach Training & Materials

  • Coaches are the heart of our program. Donations help fund:

    • Background checks

    • CPR/first aid training

    • Official GOTR curriculum guides

    • Team supplies like journals, cones, and markers

๐Ÿงก Gear & Essentials

  • Your gifts help provide running shoes for those who need them, water bottles, healthy snacks, and GOTR season t-shirts.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Real Impact in Worcester County:

  • Thousands of girls have been empowered since our council began 11 years ago

  • Hundreds of volunteer coaches trained and supported

  • Many schools and community sites across the county offering GOTR programming

  • Countless stories of growth, courage, and confidence sparked by your generosity


๐Ÿ™Œ Why It Matters

Your donation does more than support a program — it has a real impact on these girl's lives. Girls learn how to stand up for themselves and others, manage emotions, set goals, and build meaningful friendships.

Your support helps these girls stand out — strong, joyful, and supportive to those around them.
