At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.

Experiencing Veterans and Artists Collaborations (EVAC) is an organization based in Perrysburg that brings together veterans and artists. EVAC curators interview veterans about their experiences, and artists make an edition of prints based on their interpretation of those stories. The prints are exhibited with excerpts from the transcribed interviews. Using storytelling and art, EVAC bridges the gap between civilians and veterans by educating the public about life in the military. EVAC has exhibited at the Cleveland Hopkins Airport, Reagan National Airport, Walter Reed Medical Center, Manhattan College, Tiffin University (Ohio), and the Army Transportation Museum (Fort Eustis, VA), and more. You can find out more about the project at www.evacproject.org 

Col. DiDio, the Operations Group Commander, will speak.
