| Beginning a series of awards to groups that participated in our recent Women’s Empowerment Fair, the Rotary Club on March 8 presented a $500 check to Girls on the Run NJ East.
Suzanne Elliott, executive director of the local council, said Girls on the Run provides a fun, evidence-based curriculum for girls 8-13 that inspires participants to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others.
The program operates during two, two-month seasons each year - one in the spring (starting April 8) and the other in mid-September. Each of the seasons culminates in a 5K run/walk. For more information, visit www.GirlsontheRunNJ.org. |
