We're so proud of our 2022 SoleMates team for accomplishing the incredible goal of running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 9! Learn more about their positive impact on the lives of Chicagoland girls.

From competing as a figure skater to running her first marathon, Lucy Gund knows the power of setting and reaching big goals! She’s channeling her passion for physical activity as a SoleMate and a member of the GOTRC social media ambassador Team Run for Her, ensuring that Chicagoland girls get the chance to achieve their goals, too! 

Give today to celebrate the International Day of the Girl with us on October 11! Our goal is to raise $10,000, which will be matched dollar for dollar by the Elliott Family (up to $10,000), to provide a total of 67 program scholarships to girls living in under-resourced communities. 

To honor our founding and provide support for our future, our Finish Line Council members have generously seeded an $11,500 matching gift fund, and for the next 31 days they’ll match every gift we raise (up to $11,500)! 

Learn about giving to Girls on the Run-Chicago through a donor advised fund (DAF).

Enter the Girls on the Run-Chicago Summer Raffle all throughout July for the chance to win amazing prize packages from our partners while supporting Chicagoland girls!
