🎉💜💛Happy 9th Birthday to Dare to Run, Inc.!🎉💜💛

As a the newest board member, I want to take a moment to say "thank you" not just from me, but from our entire current board team.

Thank you to every former board member, participant, trainer, supporter, donor, speaker, volunteer, and friend who helped build Dare to Run into what it is today.

Nine years does not happen by accident. It happens because people believed in the mission. People showed up. People gave their time, their expertise, their networks, their resources, and their encouragement. And because of that, Dare to Run has been able to create space for women to learn, grow, and step into their power.

Today, we are celebrating the work that has already been done , and looking ahead to what comes next.

As the current board, we are excited about this new chapter. We are honoring the legacy while also building for the future. That means continuing to create opportunities for women to gain the tools, confidence, and community they need to lead in every space they enter.

So today, we are asking you to celebrate with us.

🎂 Wish Dare to Run a happy birthday.
💜 Share a memory, a lesson, or a word of encouragement in the comments.
💛 And please consider making a birthday gift to support the next chapter of this work.

Whether you give $9 for 9 years or $90, your support helps us keep this mission moving forward.
