We held our 6th annual 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run on Sunday April 14. Despite the rain, many people came out to support Strong Women Strong Girls and thanks to you, our 5K was a huge success this year!

We would like to thank all of you for your support. Without your help, our 5K would not have been possible. We ended up exceeding our goal of $1,000 thanks to your generous support.

Hi Donors!

Thank you so much for all of your support in helping us reach our fundraising goal! We appreciate each donation and every dollar will help ensure our 5K and Fun Run are successful. 

Last Saturday, our mentors and mentees were able to participate in the Jump Into Spring event hosted by Strong Women Strong Girls at Oakland Catholic High School. Mentees from all different schools and mentors from all different colleges in the Pittsburgh area came together for a day of fun. We danced our hearts out at Zumba, made slime and did face painting at the carnival and worked with Phipps conservatory. We learned how to live a healthy lifestyle with more time spent outside and less time looking at screens. We also learned how many fruits and vegetables we need to eat every day to be healthy. Jump Into Spring is always an event that both mentors and mentees look forward to! 

We thank you very much for your generous contributions thus far, and your continued support is very much appreciated.

Hi Donors,

Thank you so much for all of these first donations! We have raised $221 so far, and it will go a long way toward our 5K and Fun Run. All of you are making a huge difference in our event, and we truly appreciate it!

Just a few weeks ago we had our field trip which brings our mentees to Pitt for the entire day. They had the chance to meet with strong women in the city of Pittsburgh, have lunch with some of the student athletes, and go to workshops run by some of the other student organizations on campus.

It was great seeing our mentees enjoy their day at Pitt and get excited about going to college in the future. One of the activities our mentees had the chance to participate in was a goal setting workshop that helped them to plan for their futures. It was wonderful to see all of the dreams they had including going to dental school, becoming a police officer and opening their own restaurant one day!

Thank you for your continued support!
