We're thrilled to announce we received a new grant from the Women's Foundation of Boston to fuel our work in serving more girls across Eastern Massachusetts. Investing in women and girls has long-term positive returns across generations and throughout communities. This three-year $165,000 grant will be used to increase the number of girls served in low-income communities in Lawrence, Brockton, Boston, Revere, Salem, and Haverhill. Thank you to the Foundation for their continued support!

Exciting news for our current and future teams in Chelsea, Everett, Cambridge and Charlestown... This spring season, State Senator Sal DiDomenico visited our Lafayette School GOTR team and was inspired to support teams in his district. He recently secured $25,000 in the Senate Budget for Girls on the Run Greater Boston to support social-emotional learning and physical activity curriculum to elementary and middle school-aged girls throughout Chelsea, Everett, and Cambridge, and Charlestown.

We're grateful for Centric Consulting Boston for including us as they honor the memory of their colleague, Errol. For the second year in a row, Concentric will be empowering more girls throughout Eastern Massachusetts with their generous gift.
