GOTR Memphis is excited to launch the peer-to-peer fundraising campaign Unstoppable Us for the first time ever this spring. Unstoppable Us is a completely optional, non-competitive campaign that empowers our program participants to join us in our promise to keep Girls on the Run accessible to all folks in the 901, regardless of ability to pay. Girls who raise over $100 will earn special GOTR capes for 5K day!

Girls on the Run Memphis is thrilled to welcome Molly Barker to the 901 ahead of our Empowered Giving Circle fundraising event March 30th! Molly will be speaking about her incredible journey and how she overcame the challenges in her way on Sunday, March 30th at the Annesdale Mansion. While the event is free to attend, it serves as a fundraiser and information session for the GOTR Memphis Empowered Giving Circle, a group of community champions that make a significant annual or monthly contribution to GOTR Memphis. 

GOTR is honored to have so many organizational partnerships throughout the 901. One partnership we want to highlight in particular is UTHSC, a university that has helped GOTR soar to new heights!

The Adopt-A-Team program is a new initiative for GOTR Memphis as of Fall 2024 that encourages folks in the community to commit to helping out a Girls on the Run site by providing snacks, swag, and support to the whole team. Throughout the season, wonderful Team Managers help make sure every girl in our program thrives. Read more about two of our "adopted" sites below!

In a time when young girls often grapple with self-doubt and insecurity, a special program is rewriting the script for empowerment. Girls on the Run Memphis is a guiding light for girls seeking inner strength, and it owes much of its magic to dedicated volunteer coaches.
