November 6, 2014 — Girls on the Run International announces its partnership with Ashworth Awards as the presenting sponsor of the annual Girls on the Run Summit.

Girls on the Run is an empowerment program for girls in the 3rd – 8th grade that provides lessons and experiences that inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident. The 2015 Girls on the Run Summit , in San Diego, California, January 18-21, gathers Girls on the Run staff and board members from among its 225 councils in the US and Canada for inspiration and learning.

Says Amy Ellrod, organizer of the event and Vice President of Marketing at Girls on the Run International, “The Girls on the Run Summit is the one time each year that our organization comes together to share experiences and energize ourselves to serve girls in ever-stronger ways. Each person at Summit is a champion for the girls in our program, so it is fitting for Ashworth Awards to be the presenting sponsor.”

Ashworth Awards is a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom medallions, awards, plaques and other recognition products. They have long-standing relationships with some of the most recognized endurance events and skill competitions in the world, including The Boston Marathon, IRONMAN, United States Figure Skating and many other large and small events worldwide.

Each year, Ashworth Awards produces the medallions that Girls on the Run participants receive as they cross the finish line of the celebratory 5k held at the end of each program season.

“We’re proud of the part we play in helping so many girls forge a life-long memory of accomplishment to top off their Girls on the Run experience.” Says Dan Ashworth, “That’s why we’re glad to help present this event for the Girls on the Run staff and board members who work tirelessly to make the whole program possible.”

While in San Diego for the 2015 Girls on the Run Summit, attendees will participate in educational sessions led by non-profit experts, network at social events and athletic activities, and share ideas as they prepare for the year ahead. The event will also feature Emmy award-winning television commentator and USA Women’s Hall of Fame Inductee Kathrine Switzer as the closing keynote speaker.

As the presenting sponsor of the 2015 Girls on the Run Summit, Ashworth Awards will receive premiere exposure at the event. More than that, however, their sponsorship underscores their commitment to Girls on Run’s vision of a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential.
