Individual fundraisers are helping propel Girls Inc. Westchester into the future.  


Established in 2007, Girls Incorporated of Westchester County inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. We are the local affiliate of Girls Incorporated, a 150 year old national nonprofit providing more than 140,000 girls across the U.S. and Canada with life-changing experiences and solutions to the unique challenges girls face. The Girls Inc. Experience consists of people, an environment, and programming that, together, empower girls to succeed. At Girls Inc., girls grow up healthy, educated, and independent.

PURPOSE AND COMMUNITY NEED

According the Westchester Children’s Association’s 2016 Children By The Numbers report, “there is overwhelming evidence that age, race, location, and gender play major roles in determining a child’s well-being and life prospects, especially when it comes to poverty, future income, and education.” Disparities follow girls throughout their educational journey and beyond including higher education, economic security, and even professional success. Therefore, it is vital to understand the needs of under-served girls to design effective approaches to address their needs.


 

The events of 2020 have created considerable new challenges for Girls Inc. Westchester's girls, many of whom will be the first in their families to attend college. After witnessing their incredible resourcefulness, creativity, and determination, I wanted to go the extra mile for them. 

So, with the girls as my inspiration, I am raising money to help them with college expenses by doing my very own unofficial triathlon on September 13th. My family will cheer me on, clock my time, and capture photographic evidence for me to share.

Please support my efforts to honor the girls as they chase the future they deserve, undeterred, despite having to navigate rougher waters and climb steeper hills than expected. Together let’s tell the girls: “We’re proud of you; your future is bright; and we have your back.”

Thank you!
