Large Grants Awarded for 2021-2022
Girls on the Run - $10,100
The Greater Boise Rotary Foundation awarded a large grants to the non-profit Girls on the Run. GBRF is a proud supporter of the impactful and important work that GotR is doing for dozens of your girls in the Treasure Valley. Toni Ramey met the GBRF team at Monroe Elementary to receive the check and she describes the program as follows.
Girls on the Run Treasure Valley is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Girls on the Run inspires girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind.
While Girls on the Run (GOTR) uses physical activity (running/jogging/walking and other fun forms of movement) in our programs, we aren’t a traditional “sport” or athletic program. Their programs use running and other physical activities as a platform for teaching important life skills and promoting holistic health outcomes for girls. At GOTR, it’s not about competition … it’s about inclusivity, setting individual goals and working to achieve them, and becoming more joyful, healthy, and confident.
How is the GBRF grant being used? GBRF funding will help us expand a small pilot of Camp GOTR that we ran for the first time last summer to 4 locations throughout the Treasure Valley, and will provide financial assistance funding to ensure that no girl is turned away because of financial means. At least 100 girls participated. Games and activities include large and small group games, workshops in which girls build and do arts and crafts, and tag variations that combine learning and moving. Thank you for giving them this opportunity!
