Girls on the Run Philadelphia

THANK YOU to our incredible SoleMates who ran for a cause during the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend 2024 in the Half, Full & 8K races! ??♀??? Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we raised over $19,000, directly supporting 100+ girls in the Girls on the Run Philadelphia program. ??? To everyone who donated, cheered, and showed up with support, your generosity is helping these girls build confidence, strength, and resilience. We couldn’t do it without you! #PhiladelphiaMarathonWeekend #SoleMates #GirlsOnTheRun #GOTRPhilly

Honor the legacy of Susan B. Anthony who dedicated her life to fighting for women’s right to vote. Her courage made it possible for women to have a say in their future. Be a leader like Susan and encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to vote with purpose today!

?? Please join us in welcoming Megan Holman Briggs, M.A., our new Program Manager, to the staff of GOTR Philadelphia!! ?? Here's a message from Megan: I'm thrilled to be joining the Girls on the Run Philly team! I've been associated with GOTR for 25 years in a variety of capacities and have seen the way the program instills confidence in the lives of many girls. One of my favorite GOTR lessons is learning about comfortable and uncomfortable feelings. Understandably, we tend to avoid our uncomfortable feelings, but expressing our uncomfortable feelings is a part of the full human experience. It's HOW we express them in healthy ways that matters and those are skills we need to learn and practice. I'm looking forward to learning alongside the GOTR Philly community about healthy ways we can all engage our BODY, MIND, SPIRIT, SOCIAL and EMOTIONAL selves!

To Girls on the Run Philadelphia’s biggest cheerleader, supporter & inspiration! Colleen Kelly Howard, our amazing council executive director for the past 10 years, has truly embodied our mission and inspired us all. As she embarks on a new chapter, we want to celebrate her incredible impact and dedication. We wish Colleen all the best—she will be greatly missed! Excited to see what amazing things are next for her! Thank you, Colleen! #GOTR4Life #philly #girlsontherun #starpower #weloveGOTR
