We’re kicking off our birthday month by featuring our Finish Line Council Chair Joan Trimuel Williams, who has been instrumental in Girls on the Run-Chicago’s growth since the early 2000s. 

The Girls on the Run-Chicago Finish Line Council is a dedicated community of women leaders who have provided their unwavering support since our inception in 1999, and continue to do so to this day.

In celebration of our 24th anniversary, our Finish Line Council has come together to raise $24,000 between now and August 31, which will provide 68 program scholarships for girls living in low-income situations this fall season. Join them by giving today!

We wrapped up our Spring 2023 season and 5K series, and are proud to have served 3,437 girls, with 68% of participants living in under-resourced communities. Learn more below!

This Pride Month, we’re passing the relay baton to Chicago-based organizations led by folks who work to lift up LGBTQIA young people. All month, we’ll feature their amazing work and words, and resources for you and your kids to learn more. Follow along all month!
