About SoleMates

By joining Girls on the Run SoleMates, you play a vital role in ensuring the future success of Girls on the Run® programs that impact the lives of hundreds of young women throughout the Greater Milwaukee area every year.

What is SoleMates?

SoleMates is a fundraising program of Girls on the Run of Greater Milwaukee (GOTR of Greater Milwaukee). SoleMates are male and female athletes who pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon or participating in a triathlon or cycling event, to raise money for the Girls on the Run of Greater Milwaukee. You choose the event, ANY event will do!

Fundraising Minimums and Support

Becoming a SoleMate is easy!  Online registration only costs $25  (this cannot be applied to your fundraising).  We ask that you raise a minimum of $200 and will support you every step of the way with an effortless fundraising web page, fundraising ideas, tips and support.  SoleMates commit to raising a minimum of $200 on or before 30 days after completing their race.

It’s Easy to Get Started!

Once you join SoleMates through our easy online registration, you’ll receive information to set up your website and you’ll be on your way to achieving your goals!  Please note that registration for SoleMates does not include registration to the actual race you select.  You will still need to register for the event of your choice independently.

Your Fundraising Dollars Provide Scholarships

Girls on the Run programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. Your fundraising dollars will allow Girls on the Run of Greater Milwaukee to provide scholarships.  $200 will support a girl for an entire Girls on the Run season and no girl is ever turned away for financial reasons.

Don’t forget to ask if your or your donors’ employers match charitable contributions!  Donations made to GOTR of Greater Milwaukee are tax deductible, as we are a 501c3 non profit organization (26-0403812).

Still Have Questions?

We look forward to having you as a SoleMate.  If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to call 414-367-8171 or email solemates@gotr-milwaukee.org.
