Gettysburg Bullets give back to the community through "Girls on the Run"

Girls on the Run is a program which aims to instill healthy body image and good eating and exercise habits in elementery school-aged girls. High school and college-aged students are paired with elementery school aged girls to help the girls train to run a 5K. Female college students act as role models of good help, and encourage their partners to exercise regularly and help the girls build confidence and develop a positive image of themselves and their bodies.

The Gettysburg Women's Lacrosse program has been participating in the Girls on the Run program, in conjunction with the affiliated Gettysburg area elementery schools and Gettysburg College, for the past three years. In our involvement with Girls on the Run, the lacrosse team has been able to give back to the Gettysburg community, which has always supported our team throughout the season.
