Thank you, Molly. 💞
Having your guiding presence with us for our 5th Annual Sneaker Soiree, 20th Birthday Celebration, and morning panel discussion was an absolute joy. ✨
Thank you for sharing your stories, your passion, your personal brand of wisdom, your understanding of what girls need and want and your willingness to let them express themselves in whatever way makes them feel most whole. 🦋
And in a remarkably telling gesture demonstrating your capacity to uplift others, you shared the spotlight by turning it onto our very own Maria Kretchik, naming her as a living, breathing embodiment of GOTR’s mission in action.
We feel immense pride in being able to carry out the vision that you gave form to many years ago and will continue to serve girls (and women!) in this program until we ALL know and believe in our limitless potential.
Thank you for your heart, your mind, your humility, your bold storytelling.
Thank you for you.
Here’s to another 20 years of Girls on the Run! 🎉
