Girls on the Run of the Southern Tier Wraps Up Their Inaugural Season
Girls on the Run of the Southern Tier (GOTRST) recently completed their inaugural season, which kicked off in mid-August at the Corning YMCA and Cohen Elementary in Elmira Heights. Girls at both sites met twice a week for ten weeks to exercise, discuss pertinent issues, and form lasting friendships. Over the season, the girls learned to embrace themselves for who they are and believe in their ability to accomplish their goals. Agency partners, community volunteers, parents, and family members truly embraced the program and with their support, it was made possible to carry out an unforgettable first season.  Learn More >, Watch the GOTRST Inaugural Season Video >
