On March 25, Girls on the Run of Northern Virginia (GOTR NOVA) hosted a thrilling and impactful Trivia Night that brought together supporters, community members, and GOTR champions for an evening of fun and fundraising. With a full house in attendance, the energy in the room was electric, filled with happy and exciting vibes as teams engaged in friendly competition, battling it out for trivia supremacy—all while supporting a meaningful cause.

One highlight of the night was the special girl panel featuring four inspiring GOTR participants and their coach. These young leaders shared their experiences with the program, highlighting how GOTR has helped them build confidence, form strong friendships, and develop the skills they need to boldly pursue their goals. Their heartfelt stories served as a powerful reminder of why investing in Girls on the Run is so impactful. 

One participant shared how practicing positive self-talk has had a profound impact on her life. She explained how she's learned to recognize when she's being hard on herself and now has the ability to shift her thoughts into something positive. “This has really helped boost my self-confidence,” she said, highlighting how the practice has empowered her to approach challenges with a more encouraging mindset.

A fun new addition to the event was our Wish Wall, which featured race bibs numbered 1-100, each representing a donation amount needed to claim that bib. 

Every bib was a winner, ensuring that every donor left with a prize! Some of the top prizes included club-level seats to a Nationals game and a stunning pair of pearl earrings.

Thanks to the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, the event raised over $12,000, all of which will go directly toward future GOTR programming. This incredible support ensures that more girls across Northern Virginia will have the opportunity to participate in our life-changing program, where they’ll gain valuable lessons in confidence, teamwork, and goal-setting.
