 Girls on the Run of Central Illinois is just one
of those programs. During the last school year over 80 3rd to 5th
grade girls from all over Logan County participated in Girls on the
Run and 32 adults volunteered as coaches.
Girls on the Run is designed to enhance girls’ social, emotional and
physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life
experiences. Girls who participate develop and improve competence
and confidence. They develop strength of character and create
positive connections with others.
Due to the United Way Grant, Girls on the Run was able to provide
72% of local families with scholarships to help with the cost of the
program. United Way funds ensure that no Logan County girl was
unable to participate due to lack of resources.
Jennifer Sublett, Executive Director of Girls on the
Run Central Illinois adds, “United Way helps Girls on the Run
connect with local families to impact physical activity and inspire
confidence and self-esteem.

With the support of the United Way, we served girls
at 7 various sites in the county and each team designed and
implemented a Community Impact Project, which makes a further
contribution to the greater community.”
