Changing Lives


We're still smiling from the Girls on the Run and STRIDE 5K Challenge! The hot weather didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the more than 2,600 youth and adult runners who participated in our annual 5K. 

This was the first time the run was held in downtown West Chester ... the first time we broke a participation record, making our 5K the largest in Chester County ... and the first time that the founder of Girls on the Run, Molly Barker, attended one of our runs.

Learn more about Girls on the Run and STRIDE.
