Introducing the GOTR RUN Raiser!

We hope your daughter is enjoying the Girls on the Run season thus far. We are excited to have more than 70 girls running throughout Wood River Valley this spring. We hope that this season’s participants are experiencing a program that inspires them to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. To sustain the programs and insure that GOTR is an opportunity for all girls across Blaine County, we are conducting an optional pledge drive. We hope your daughter will be participating in the pledge drive in support of Girls on the Run programming in our community. Final deadline for all contributions to be returned to your GOTR site is Thursday, May 16th.
