W
hile at The Running Event in Austin, a group
of run specialty retailers and members of the
ASICS sales team paired up with Girls On The
Run Austin for a community service project.
The group visited a Girls on The Run program
at Hornsby Dunlap Elementary School to work
with the young women from the school's Girls on the Run
program to hand make dog toys and blankets to be distrib-
uted to the shelters in the area. With the hurricanes that just
happened around Texas, a bunch of displaced animals are
finding their way to Austin. This group effort was a great
way to help these animals by giving them a nice blanket and
toys. The crew had a blast getting to meet the young volun-
teers and help them with their task.
Girls on the Run is a nonprofit organization with local
Councils in all 50 states. Girls on the Run has served
more than 1.4 million girls and serves over 200,000 girls
annually. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in
3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate
their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health
and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively
impacting their communities through a service project and
being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a
celebratory 5K event. With the largest 5K series by number
of events in the world, Girls on the Run hosts more than 330
5Ks per year.
