“We believe that every girl is born with limitless potential” is a value that Girls on the Run Minnesota (GOTR-MN) brings to life daily, in all that they do. Girls on the Run inspires girls of all abilities to discover, build and grow their self-confidence while connecting with one another as part of a team. The White Bear Lake community has not only been fortunate to consistently host several GOTR teams each season, but we are also fortunate to have GOTR-MN executive director Kathleen Cannon call our community home.
“[This is] a community that believes in the power of girls and is willing to invest time and resources into supporting and celebrating them,” Cannon says. In 2023, GOTR-MN was a recipient of a Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation Community Partners grant. The Community Partners Fund provides grant support to programs and projects focused on enriching the communities on White Bear lake.
Kelly Neeb is the business manager at the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation. For more on the Community Partners Fund, visit gwblcf.org. To learn more about GOTR-MN, visit gotrmn.org.
