Limitless Potential Luncheon 2023 Highlights

Tuesday, May 2nd nearly 400 guests came together at Mosaic Venue in Downtown Minneapolis to build connections, celebrate the program’s impact and raise funds that will power this important work statewide. We’re excited to share that through generous contributions of individuals, businesses and organizations, together we raised more than $145,000 to power Girls on the Run Minnesota as we work to:

-expand statewide, from Rochester to Grand Marais and every interested community in between

-keep high-quality, girl-focused programming at the forefront, updating our award-winning curriculum and deepening coach support

-double down on access and inclusion by ensuring generous financial aid, running gear, sports hijabs, and 5K transportation are available to everyone
and more
