COLONIAL HEIGHTS — Girls on the Run [GOTR] is excited to announce its expansion to Lakeview Elementary in the fall. The nonprofit’s mission is to inspire and empower young girls through running and personal development programs.
Already established in two Petersburg elementary schools, Cool Spring and Pleasants Lane, GOTR is working to grow its presence across the Tri-Cities area. This expansion aims to reach even more girls, providing them with valuable tools to navigate life’s challenges and embrace their unique strengths.
Certified Pedorthist Bryan Acheson, owner of Chester-based My Foot Guy and a board-certified foot and ankle specialist, serves on the Board of Directors for the Kiwanis Club of Colonial Heights. He secured the Club’s agreement to support the pilot program at Lakeview this fall.
“We are deeply grateful for the generous sponsorship from My Foot Guy,” Catherine Estevez, Executive Director of Girls on the Run, said. “Alongside other partners, their support is helping us bring the transformative Girls on the Run programs to girls in Colonial Heights and Petersburg.”
