“Run4Fun has made a profound impact on the girls in our school. We selected 18 girls of color for the program, aiming to address academic and social struggles. After completing the program, 67% of girls showed measurable growth in academic confidence and health, and 78% reported a decrease in stress. This program has been a tremendous success, and we are excited about its continued impact.”
