We have exciting news to share!

Girls on the Run of North Central West Virginia is proud to welcome WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s Hospital as our Presenting Sponsor!

Through this partnership, Golisano Children’s Hospital is investing in opportunities for girls across North Central West Virginia to build confidence, strengthen their physical and emotional well-being, and recognize just how much potential they have.

At Girls on the Run, we know that healthy kids are about more than physical health. Throughout each season, girls build skills in confidence, emotional awareness, healthy relationships, communication, teamwork, and goal-setting — all while discovering the joy of movement and what they are capable of accomplishing.

That shared commitment to the whole child makes this partnership especially meaningful.

And this is only the beginning.

Our partnership with Golisano Children’s Hospital will extend beyond sponsorship. Together, we are exploring opportunities to introduce girls to healthcare professionals, expose them to careers they may not have imagined for themselves, and create experiences that show them firsthand that their potential truly is limitless.

“We are incredibly grateful to WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s Hospital for believing in our girls and the work happening throughout our communities,” said Crissi Kolb, Executive Director of Girls on the Run of North Central West Virginia. “Their investment helps us continue removing barriers to participation while also opening doors to new experiences for our girls. We want every girl who comes through our program to know that her voice matters, her goals matter, and there is no limit to where she can go.”

We can’t wait to share more about what this partnership will bring to our girls, families, and communities.

Welcome to the Girls on the Run family, WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s Hospital!
