We are very excited and pleased to welcome the newest member to our Girls on the Run team, Bryanna Boone! Bryanna joins Angela Wagner, as Program Coordinator. With a background and experience in college admissions, she brings a diverse range of skills and will definitely be an asset to our organization. Bryanna has three young daughters, one of whom is participating in the upcoming season of Girls on the Run! Join me in giving a big GOTR Energy Award to Bryanna!

She can be reached by email: bryanna@capareagirlsontherun.org or by calling 717.763.4879.

Teams are limited to 15 girls, and participants will be selected using a lottery system. Click Fall 2014 team list August 28 to see our list of participating schools and to register your daughter or loved one.

The deadline for team applications will be extended until June 30th. If you are interested, please see the “Host a Team” page under the “Get Involved” tab. If you have any questions, please contact Angela Wagner at angela@capareagirlsontherun.org.

The Capital Area Girls on the Run Board of Directors is very pleased to announce the appointment of Gillian Byerly as the organization’s new Council Director. Having worked at the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg for the past 7 years, Gilly has experience in nonprofit fundraising, event planning and youth empowerment and development. She has also been a volunteer and Board Member for the Capital Area Girls on the Run.

Gilly has great passion for the Girls on the Run mission, which is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident. Girls on the Run founder Molly Barker says “The only requirement to having a dream, is believing in it.” In Gilly’s own words: “Leading an organization that offers young girls the opportunity to reveal their greatness; that recognizes the importance of strong, independent minded young women who are fearless in their pursuit to reach their potential and unhindered by the distorted and manipulated images of an increasingly narrow view of beauty, is my dream. It is what I believe in.”

And the Capital Area Girls on the Run Board and family believes in you, Gilly!

Gilly can be contacted at “Gillian@capareagirlsontherun.org”
