More Than Pink is a program to inspire girls to stay true to themselves and live free from societal stereotypes. This 7-week program innovatively weaves training for a 5K run with lessons that empower girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices, and embrace their gifts. All athletic abilities are welcome. More Than Pink works around summer schedules, camps and vacations. Even if girls are going to be gone for a day or for a week they are still able to participate in the program. Information that is missed on certain topics will be handed out to the girls so they will still get the information. A More Than Pink day consists of 50 minutes of a fun fitness activity and 50 minutes of a life lesson. This program meets twice a week for 2 hours. Topics may include self-worth, body image, nutrition, healthy relationships, money management and more. New topics and more fun will be added for 2022, so if you participated last year, or for a couple of years, you can come back! Grades 4/5 will meet together and grades 6/7 will be together. More Than Pink Goals: To help girls grow and develop physically, mentally, and socially with local community support. To empower girls to be true to themselves at home and school, with self-image, friends, and activities. To provide resources and tools to help them not succumb to peer pressure, live with less stress, and become who they want to be. To measure fitness goals throughout the 7-week program. The program builds throughout the summer and culminates in the girls, and others, running/walking a celebratory More Than Pink 5K on Wednesday, August 10 at 6:30pm (Aug. 11 rain backup). Family and friends are welcome and encouraged to join the run! This is not a competitive race but a celebration of empowerment and inspiration! Family and friends can pay $5 the night of the run to participate. Financial assistance is available. Girls will receive a t-shirt. Space is limited. We love to meet parents; please join us, with your daughter, for a fun open house on Monday, June 27th from 6-7 pm. Come dressed to participate in fun outside activities (rain back-up June 28).
