FIRST TIME HERE?: The Girls Run the World 5K serves as a fundraiser that aids in the expansion of the Girls Run The World leadership program that services three high schools in Aurora and Yorkville High School in Yorkville, IL. This event will celebrate the accomplishments of the young women in the program and young ladies all over Aurora and Yorkville, while promoting a healthy lifestyle.  This fundraiser allows us to give scholarships to our graduating seniors, take the girls on social and education field trips, and help the young ladies prepare for a successful life after high school.We thank you in advance for helping the young women in our community grow and succeed!
