My name is Stephanie Hall and I am excited to begin our 5th annual Girls on the Run club for girls in grades 3-5 in our Eastover community. I am blessed to have my friends and colleagues coach with me- Olivia Norris and Rebecca Peterson. On Nov. 15th, 2025 I will be running 26.2 miles in Charlotte, NC in hopes to motivate friends, family and our community to donate to this amazing cause! Our final Jingle Bell 5k will be on December 6th, 2025 where anyone can join and run to celebrate our girls!

Girls on the Run is a ten-week program (it is nation-wide), where girls of all abilities will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn essential life skills. We will train these girls for a 5k (3.1 miles) race and incorporate life skills and lessons that can help them throughout their lives.

Last year, 40 girls ran and completed a 5k race after this 10 week program. We had a lot more members in our community involved and would love to see that grow! Every girl who registers is $65. Why? This includes the amazing curriculum that we will be teaching about life skills, friendship and confidence, a girl's on the run t-shirt, water bottle and finisher's medal. My goal is for every girl to register without the worry of money. Being part of a Title 1 school (which means a low-income school), we hope to get help financially so the girls who sign up do not have to pay to register. We want every girl interested in joining and not having to worry about the payment to help build their social, emotional and physical self.

ALL DONATIONS!!! **This money will provide registration fees for every girl who signs up to participate. We are excited to kick off the new year with another successful GOTR season! **Any extra fees will go directly towards 5k expenses!**

Thank you family, friends and community!
