Students Run Philly Style is a youth mentorship non-profit based in the heart of Philadelphia. It pairs volunteer mentors with groups of students from local schools and introduces them to running as an exercise, eventually leading to training for a full or half marathon. The organization's impact is significant. 41% of the students involved raised their GPA, more than half decreased any violent behavior, 99.5% were promoted to the next grade and 91% graduated high school -- 90% of those graduates were accepted into four-year colleges.
Your donation will help Students Run Philly Style to continue its significant, and lasting, impact on Philadelphia's youth. 50$ helps to purchase two pairs of sneakers for the runners, 100$ purchases sneakers and a running kit, and 500$ covers an entire marathon training for one student.
Any contribution is greatly appreciated!
