Girls on the Run!

For the last few years, I have been a volunteer for the Girls on the Run 5k in Vasona Park. This year, I'm the volunteer coordinator, so I'm looking for people to join the volunteer team!

Girls on the Run is a national organization, with a Silicon Valley Chapter that's growing every year. This year we're expecting 1,500 girls to race! Here is the website:http://www.girlsontherun-sv.org/h3.htm I love this organization and all they do for young girls. In addition to building an interest in running, the girls are empowered with confidence-building activities and lessons in self-esteem and goal-setting.

The race is on Saturday, May 16th, and your time commitment will be minimal- I would predict no longer than 2-3 hours (it's a 5k, so your actual working time is SHORT, and there is time built in there for coffee and donuts). Volunteers receive a shirt, breakfast, and a 40% discount on New Balance shoes and apparel (online) after the race.

If you're interested in helping out with this VERY fun race, please let me know by commenting here or emailing me. It's going to be a great morning!
