This event benefits GOTRVT’s participants registration fees and financial assistance and will raise critical funds to support the program in the 2026 season so that all girls can participate regardless of financial barriers. This benefit would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and in-kind partners: Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Vermont, Casella Waste Systems, Inc., Sprucewood Dental Associates, NBT Bank, and Top Hat Entertainment.
GOTRVT strives to make a lasting impact on the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of young girls in 3rd-8th grade as they face societal pressures at a particularly vulnerable part of childhood. GOTRVT appreciates the support from the community to ensure the sustainability of their programs across the state.
