Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley is a non-profit organization with a mission to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. We use the power of running and combine training for a 5k event with healthy living education. GOTR of Silicon Valley provides after school programs for girls in 3rd-8th grades at locations throughout Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games and discussing important issues, participants learn to celebrate being their unique and real selves.
SoleMates® is the charity running “leg” of GOTR and uses the power of running to make a difference for our girls. Teams or individuals (men and women) can pursue individual goals such as running a marathon or completing a triathlon while raising money to support participants in GOTR. SoleMates® runners who participate in the Silicon Valley half marathon as their chosen event will be treated to a GOTR VIP tent at the half marathon finish line! Runners are asked to raise a minimum of just $262. Click on the links to learn more about Girls on the Run and to sign up for SoleMates®. We hope to see you on race day!
Our group is dedicated to raising awareness and funds, increasing education and supporting pancreatic cancer research.
Pancreatic cancer is the least funded cancer in terms of research. Despite causing enormous mortality, pancreatic cancer receives (on a mortality basis) much less funding for research than most of the other major cancers.
As a participant in Pancreatica Walks and Runs you can help in the fight against pancreatic cancer - includes coaching, running apparel, prizes and more!
Please call 1-877-ToFightCancer (1-877-863-4448), e-mail us at Participate@ToFightCancer.com or visit www.ToFightCancer.com to get started today.
JW House is a place of welcome and support for families of hospitalized patients being treated in Santa Clara and surrounding areas.
Families faced with long hospital stays often end up living out of their loved one’s hospital room – sleeping in chairs, eating cafeteria food, and going without showers – just so they can be by the patient’s side.
JW House provides a home to families to be together when they need one another the most. Our staff and volunteers work with social workers at nearby hospitals to place families in the house. Our guests are able to enjoy a tranquil, home-like atmosphere while being steps away from their sick family member. We offer low cost overnight accommodations and free day use programs for families.
If you would like to join Team JW House at this year’s Dean Karnazes Silicon Valley Marathon and raise money to help us continue providing a home away from home for families in need, please contact us at info@jwhouse.org.
