Girls on the Run

Posted on January 15, 2020 | About Us

Our team at Blossom is passionate about seeing kids thrive, and that doesn’t stop at dental and orthodontic care. We believe children are the future, so we love supporting other organizations who help build a better tomorrow for the youth in our community. That’s why we’re partnering with Girls on the Run to sponsor their spring and fall 5ks this year! 

Girls on the Run is a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeing girls unlock their potential and unleash their dreams. Using an experience-based curriculum that creatively combines running, girls who participate in their programs receive intentional focus on physical and emotional health. Integrating these two areas is what makes GOTR unique. Girls on the Run is rewriting the future for girls all over the country through their holistic focus on female empowerment. But don’t take our word for it! Click here to read about the tangible impact they’re having on girls in our community. 

We love what Girls on the Run is doing to create opportunities for girls right here in Southeastern Michigan, and we want to make sure everyone has the chance to be impacted by their work. Mark your calendars for their spring 5K:

WHEN: Sunday, May 17 at 9:00am

WHERE: Washtenaw Community College

All proceeds go to the Girls on the Run scholarship fund, which makes it possible for more girls in our community to participate in the GOTR programs. That means your participation has a direct impact for girls who need it most.

But that’s not all. As 2020 sponsors for Girls on the Run, we want to make sure money isn’t a barrier to girls who wish to participate. From now until the close of race registration, we will be taking nominations for young girls who want to run in the spring GOTR 5k. Two individual runners will be selected to participate in the race, sponsored by your family-friendly Blossom team! Here are the details for entry:

• All nominees must be under the age of 18.
• Email Blossom HERE giving us the name of the person you’re nominating along with one thing you think makes her incredible!

It’s that simple! Do you know a young girl who would like to participate in this event? Nominate them today! We know there’s something important that happens when girls support girls, and this GOTR 5k is no different. Give the gift of empowerment to a girl in your life by nominating them for this incredible opportunity.
