Girls on the Run

Chrissy Field, SF 

Saturday, May 19, 2007

RSVP: fiona@sparksf.org

At the 2006 Black and Pink Ball, we shared with you the inspiring story of Lornah Kiplagat who started the High Altitude Training Camp in Kenya , to which Spark provided a grant.  In the spirit of Lornah’s dedication and efforts, Spark continues its advocacy for female athletes and the life-changing impact of dedicated training programs with our support of Girls on the Run-San Francisco (www.gotrsf.org).

Girls on the Run educates and prepares girls in grades 3 through 8 for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living, culminating in a 5K run in which Spark will be participating to help celebrate these young girls.  We invite you to join Spark on Saturday, May 19^th at San Francisco ’s Chrissy Field for the Annual GOTR-SF Lollipop Run as either an event volunteer or “running buddy” as you run alongside a young girl while providing encouragement and cheering her on to the finish line.

If you are interested in participating with Spark in the Annual GOTR-SF Lollipop Run, please email fiona@sparksf.org.  We hope you can join us!
