Last year, thanks to the work of @SenPacioneZayas and Rep.Kam Buckner ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶, we were appropriated $5M to provide grants to 41 orgs using sport as a tool for youth development.

We are counting on renewal of funds through HB2483 & SB1795 to sustain these crucial programs into next year🧵

At Girls on the Run, we encourage our girls to always be themselves and have fun in an environment that fosters new friendships. 'There is always room in the heart for one more friend.'
