Some of you have suggested that our Geneseo NYC Women's Alumnae Association pair an event with a charity cause. Your wish is our command! Alyssa Anderson Gonlag (Class of 2005), introduced us to a fabulous group that she works with, Girls on the Run, and we are proud to announce a partnership with them this holiday season. On Sunday, December 7th, Girls on the Run will host a 5K race for 3rd through 8th grade girls in the NYC area and they need our help. We will be organizing a group from Geneseo to participate together and we'd love to see you there.
What is Girls on the Run? GOTR is a mentoring program for girls grades 3-8. The girls meet twice a week and learn life skills through fun and engaging lessons, culminating in an end of season 5k Race that's all about confidence, character and compassion. How can I help? As the girls' season completes this December, GOTR needs volunteers to help as running buddies for the girls during their race, as well as general day-of volunteers to help give out water, medals and smiles, or general 5K runners to run this non timed fun run. Geneseo will be pulling together a group of volunteers in any and all of the categories. Just how cold will it be? We're thinking pretty darn cold. This is an outdoor race on Randall's Island in December! That's why, after the race, we will be gathering as a group somewhere nearby to get some drinks and/or (very hot!) coffee and to catch up with each other as a group. More info to come on this. This sounds crazy. I'm in. How do I sign up? Click on the link below to register. You will be asked for your preference on what type of volunteering you'll be doing, and to identify the group you are affiliated with. Please make sure you enter "Geneseo" as our group so that we know who is involved and can send you further info as the event date gets closer. Any questions at all, just send us an email and we'll try to help you out.
