As the presenting sponsor of the Girls on the Run 5K, staff and attorneys from Jennings Strouss supported the girls through a financial contribution, the creation of a slew of motivational posters, volunteering as running buddies and providing games for all to participate in after the run had concluded. Those who volunteered as running buddies partnered with young girls and accompanied them through their 5K, providing encouragement along the race route as well as celebrating the accomplishments at the finish line.
“Serving as the presenting sponsor of the Girls on the Run 5K was an honor for all of us at Jennings Strouss,” said Keith Overholt, President of the Jennings Strouss Foundation and Member of Jennings Strouss. “The faces of the girls crossing the finish line showed pride, accomplishment and determination. We were thrilled to play a small role in helping Girls on the Run spread its positive message throughout Phoenix.”
