International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8th and has been recognized since 1911! What a happy coincidence, as this date also marks Girls on the Run Sierras’ birthday- and this year we are 19! 

This is a day meant for commemorating and appreciating all women- and the future women. We shine light on the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women while advocating for gender equality. Girls on the Run is dedicated to making sure young girls recognize their inner strength and unique abilities to confidently make healthy decisions and positive impacts on the world around them! Although a lot of progress has been made, there is still more we can do to make sure all women and girls reach superstar status! 

The Nevada Women’s fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and strengthening communities all over the state. Through scholarships, grants and collaborative programs they work with and help fund initiatives in order to support women’s education, growth and career development. Ultimately, they aspire to help women reach their highest achievements and become self-sufficient- making Nevada a place where women can contribute to their community on a variety of levels. 

Girls on the Run Sierras is proud to partner with The Nevada Women’s Fund! In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we are hosting an Inspire Progress Walk (or Run!). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate!
