The holiday season offers us a unique opportunity to make a positive impact in our communities and help those in need. It's a time to shift our focus from our own desires to the needs of others. Whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, or any other celebration, the act of giving is a universal language that knows no bounds. To embrace the spirit of giving during the holiday season, we have compiled a list of ways to give back to our local Bucks County community.

Upon completing the program, participants are physically and emotionally prepared to complete a 5K. The culminating event brings together teams from across the community to celebrate the power of unleashing confidence through accomplishment. Throughout its ten-year history, GOTRP has developed partnerships that have enabled the organization to serve over 6,000 girls at over 150 sites throughout our region since its inception. This season GOTRP served 755 girls in Philadelphia with over 83% of receiving financial assistance to participate
Charitable contributions enable us to transform the lives of hundreds of girls in our community each year.
