We’re beyond grateful to our local sponsors, Womt-WQTC Radio Stations, Ariens Nordic Center, Family Care of the Fox Cities, and North Shore Foot-Ankle Appleton & Oshkosh, whose support made this year’s Celebrate Your Start 5K such a meaningful celebration. Their commitment gave our participants the chance to honor their beginnings, reach new milestones, and shine brighter than ever. Thank you, sponsors, it’s been clear from the START you’d make a positive impact on every girl’s lives!

💜 COACH OF THE WEEK! 💜
With three seasons of Girls on the Run coaching under her belt, she believes in the power of movement to strengthen both our emotional and physical well-being. Her favorite part of coaching? Watching girls grow in confidence, take on big challenges, and cheer one another on every step of the way!
She brings a supportive, empathetic, and empowering approach to every practice, with a little tough love sprinkled in to remind our girls that they are capable of doing hard things!
And she practices what she preaches! A fun fact: she ran her very first full marathon at 37! 🏃‍♀️
We love how she embodies this season’s Bold Heart theme and encourages our girls to believe in themselves, embrace challenges, and share their strength with others.
Here's what she has to say about being a Girls on the Run coach: ⬇️
"I’ve been coaching Girls on the Run for three seasons because I deeply believe in the power of movement to nourish both emotional and physical well-being. My favorite part of coaching is watching the girls build confidence, embrace big challenges, and cheer each other on every step of the way, which is exactly what having a "Bold Heart" is all about! In my personal life, I love taking on big goals myself (fun fact: I ran my very first full marathon at 37!). I bring a supportive, empathetic, and empowering coaching style to every practice, using a little tough love to remind our girls that they can do hard things!"
Thank you for sharing your time, energy, and heart with our girls! We are so grateful to have you on our coaching team! 💜

💖Board Member of the Week: Shannon! 💖

Meet Shannon, a member of the Girls on the Run Northeast Wisconsin Board!

Shannon first became involved with GOTR after seeing a board member opportunity posted at work, and our mission and values immediately resonated with her. She is passionate about empowering girls and women to reach their fullest potential and helping girls build confidence that will carry them throughout their lives.

To Shannon, being a Bold Heart means encouraging girls to speak what’s on their hearts and minds while empowering others to do the same!

🏃‍♀️ Fun fact: Shannon has completed multiple half marathons and a full marathon for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, raising over $3,000 along the way! She’s since retired from running, but her passion for empowering others continues.

We’re so grateful to have Shannon’s heart, passion, and leadership on our board! Thank you for helping us inspire the next generation of confident, joyful, and healthy girls. 💗

Meet Hollie, an incredible Girls on the Run coach who has brought the magic of GOTR with her from school to school and district to district! ✨ What started years ago with an invitation from her principal has grown into a passion for sharing confidence, connection, and meaningful life lessons with girls.
Hollie believes in creating an energetic, organized, and inclusive environment where every girl feels supported and empowered to be herself. We’re so grateful for coaches like Hollie who help our girls grow into confident, bold-hearted individuals! 💕
And her heart for others extends beyond coaching… she even donated a kidney to a family friend last year! 🫶
