Summer Service: Operation School Supplies

Girls on the Run South Hampton Roads is partnering with WAVY 10 on Friday, July 26 for Operation School Supplies. Volunteers are needed that morning at Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach.  This is a great opportunity for GOTR program alumni to get community service hours for college applications as well as our new GOTR scholarship we will be offering next year.
 
All GOTR girls who participate will get an acknowledgement letter tracking their volunteer hours.
Operation School Supplies is a donation program through 10 On Your Side, asking for help in collecting school supplies for needy children in Hampton Roads. GOTR girls will literally help stuff a school bus (and organize) supplies that are donated by community members.
Is your GOTR girl available to help on July 26? Email us now and let us know. More details to come.

Thank you…more financial support from community partners!

Thank you to Amerigroup  Foundation and CREW Hampton Roads who recently donated to our program. We appreciate your support!

Alum on the Run alumni program launched

Alum on the Run is a unique group that allows previous participants to continue fulfilling the Girls on the Run message of living a healthy lifestyle with a positive self-image, while giving back to their own Girls on the Run community. This is a great opportunity to see old friends, share your own experience with current members, become a role model, and meet new people!

As a member of the newly formed alumni group, you will be able to participate in volunteer projects, attend fun social events and group activities, and reconnect with other former GOTR team members and meet new girls! You’ll also be able to stay connected with Girls on the Run and participate or volunteer in all the GOTR events.

Upcoming Alum on the Run opportunity:

Saturday, May 11 - Alum on the Run Happy Hair Station at the spring 5k race. Sign up to volunteer.

Saturday, May 11- Register to run in our 5k and receive an Alum on the Run race t-shirt. Use coupon code AOTR for $5 off the registration fee!
