As an Official Charity Partner, GINYC will have five runners to represent us in the race. While fulfilling personal goals and passions for running on team Strong, Smart, and Bold, runners are raising funds to support life-transforming programs reaching 10,000 girls, young women, and gender-expansive youth at more than 60 schools throughout NYC. 

 

All proceeds raised by the team will benefit our programs in financial literacy, college and career readiness, healthy sexuality, mental health, and STEM, our education and advocacy efforts that advance a more equitable world for girls, young women, and gender-expansive youth.
