This month, we’re proud to spotlight Assurant, a partner whose commitment to community has made a lasting and meaningful impact. Our connection with Assurant began in 2016, when a member of their HR team joined our Board of Directors and helped strengthen our operations during an important period of growth. That same year, employee volunteers joined us at our spring 5K and Assurant contributed a $5,000 sponsorship, setting the stage for what would soon become a truly remarkable partnership.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Gamma Phi Beta, a valued Girls on the Run national partner whose members have been integral to our mission season after season. From volunteering as coaches and 5K-day cheer stations to helping spread the word about our programs on campus and in the community, Gamma Phi Beta members have shown what it means to embody strength, compassion, and leadership.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Krista Reilly, a longtime coach, educator, and passionate advocate who has championed Girls on the Run for 17 seasons–bringing the program to three different schools throughout her career in education.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Anetra Briggins, a dedicated coach, Young Professionals Board member, and proud Girls on the Run alum.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Becca Rackley, one of our longest-standing coaches and a passionate advocate for our middle school program, Heart & Sole.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight the Girls on the Run Georgia Board of Directors (GOTR Board). Founded in 2000 alongside Girls on the Run Georgia, the GOTR Board provides vital leadership, strategic oversight, and mission-driven guidance that propels our organization forward.

This month, we’re thrilled to highlight Anna Hunter, the incredible founder of Girls on the Run Georgia, lifelong supporter, and champion of girls. Anna’s journey with Girls on the Run began long before the program ever reached Georgia. Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina, Anna had a very special connection to the movement.

This month, we’re thrilled to highlight Karla Sadler, a dedicated Girls on the Run Georgia volunteer, supporter, and member of our Empower Giving Society. Her involvement with GOTR started with a simple favor—a friend asked Karla to be a 5K Buddy for her daughter at a Girls on the Run 5K. As an avid runner, biker, and hiker, she was happy to join in. But what she experienced that day was far more than just a fun run.

Girls on the Run Georgia is celebrating 25 years of inspiring confidence in girls across Georgia, and each month, we’re spotlighting supporters who have played a crucial role in shaping our council.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight the Girls on the Run Young Professionals Board (GOTR YPB). Founded in 2016, GOTR YPB provides a leadership volunteer opportunity to individuals who are passionate about our mission, but may not be able to coach due to time constraints or would prefer to dedicate their time to serve the organization outside of coaching.
