Today is #GivingTuesday

After the dust of Black Friday and Cyber Monday settles, Tuesday of cyber week is all about giving back to the Treasure Valley!  Today is #givingtuesday and people are encouraged to make a donation to their favorite non-profit.

This year I'm donating to Girls On The Run. Last fall, one of our sales department super stars, Holly, invited me to be a running buddy for GOTR at the YMCA's Halloween Run and I jumped at the chance! It's a running-based, after school program for girls between 3rd and 5th grade. Their goal is to help the girls develop healthy bodies, minds and relationships. At the end of their 10 week program, they run a non-competitive 5K and move on with skills for making smart eating choices, saying no to drugs/alcohol and standing up to bullying. I loved getting a chance to run that final 5K with my new friends Paige and Grace last year and getting to speak to the Spalding Elementary group at the end of this past season.
