Dear Friends, It has been a remarkable year for GOTRNJN. With a focus on building joy, health and confidence, our organization is bringing about positive change in a big way. We are steadily growing and expanding our reach into more and more communities. In fact, we are proud to now serve communities in Sussex, Bergen, Passaic and Hudson County. Our commitment to accessible, impactful programming remains strong, as is our focus on giving back to the communities we serve in. Our teams completed over 50 community impact projects this year alone, all executed by our girls. Across Northern New Jersey, volunteer coaches taught our girls important skills and the power we all have-no matter what our age or circumstances- to give back to our communities. This fall, we launched our new middle school program, Heart and Sole. This new “girl led” initiative was met with tremendous success and we are looking forward to growing this amazing program in the year of 2016. GOTRNJN is committed to providing a safe space where girls can learn what it means to be the leaders of their own lives. We will continue to work hard to ensure all of our girls and volunteers recognize the strength and power each of them have to boldly pursue their dreams. We are honored to serve this organization and are grateful to our families, volunteers and donors who share in our commitment to our vision of a world where all girls know and can activate their limitless potential. Look at how we’ve grown…. Over 5000 girls and friends have crossed our finish lines. Over $16,000 in scholarship funding has been provided. Over 400 trained coaches have volunteered their time.
