September Updates

It's almost time to start the new Girl Scout year!

The new year begins on October 1 and I have several updates to share with you about the Service Unit Annual Fund goal-tracking process before then. Please join me for a Zoom information session and Q&A on Tuesday, September 19 at 7:00 p.m. We will chat about your new Annual Fund goal, the types of donations that will count towards your goal, fundraising events, best practices for asking parents to donate, the new Annual Fund patch, and resources you have access to. You can open the calendar invitation attached to this email, add it to your calendar, and forward it to anyone else who might like to attend. I hope to see you then!

 

Top reasons to participate in the Run for the Cookies 5K:

  1. It will be a fun fall activity for your family or troop filled with Girl Scout spirit and Girl Scout Cookies!

  2. You can raise money for your troop to spend on upcoming projects and trips! Set up a personalized fundraising page for your troop, share it with your networks, and at the end of October the proceeds will be split 50/50 between the GSGATL Annual Fund and your troop. You don't have to attend the 5K to participate in this fundraiser. Everyone can join!

  3. Not only will everyone receive a "Run for the Cookies" fun patch for their vest or sash, but your Girl Scouts will also have the opportunity to make progress towards a health and fitness-related patch by completing the 5K or fun run race. Click here to download the badge-earning guide.
