We had a great time celebrating our 13th anniversary with Girls on the Run at our group runs! 🎉 Thanks to you, we raised $3,696.77 for Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run uses evidence-based programs that inspire participants to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others.

We donated over 30 pairs of shoes to An Achievable Dream – a nationally recognized K-12 program. The program is committed to the belief that all children can succeed and learn, regardless of their socioeconomic background. An Achievable Dream fulfills this through their commitment to provide social, academic, and moral education. An Achievable Dream operates six schools within the Peninsula and Southside, and we are thrilled to continue our partnership with them.

Our 2023 Run Local collection not only celebrated our community’s spirit but also supported a great cause. Each purchase or donation helped the Samaritan House, directly impacting lives in our community. Along with donations and $5 5K we raised almost $4,000 for Samaritan House.

Along with $5 5k donations, we donated a total of $700 to help provide Christmas gifts for 2 local families. Additionally, OS1st donated nearly 200 socks for kids in our community.
