To make this goal a reality, up to 5 percent of the Endowment Fund is distributed in grants each year to provide enhancements the community would not be able to afford: programs, events, parks, buildings, equipment, signs, trails and other unique opportunities. In 2017, a total of $7,250 was awarded in grants for our community: $450 to the Boulder Junction Public Library Children's Summer Reading Program, $4,400 to purchase bicycle fixtations along the Heart of Vilas Bike Trail, $1,500 towards the cost of building a new stage for Music on Main Street, $400 to offset the costs of the artists performing at Music on Main Street and $500 for entertainment activities at the Boulder Junction Volunteer Fire Department's Chicken annual BBQ.

Girls on the Run of the Northwoods
At Girls on the Run, we are passionate about all girls developing key life skills - confidence, caring, connection, character, competence, contribution - in order to live joyful lives of meaning and purpose. Girls on the Run is a transformational learning program for girls, ages 8 to 11 years old. Supported by GOTR staff, well-trained volunteer coaches teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. The after-school program comprehensively prepares young girls for those tough adolescent years and reviews sound life lessons for those high-school students who volunteer as junior coaches.
Not only do the girls gain confidence by training for and completing a 5K, but they also are empowered with the decision on how they will impact their community. Past impact projects include donating to Juvenile Diabetes by raising funds with a car wash; bridging the generation gap in Lac du Flambeau through letters to the elders; organizing a "stuffed animal drive" and donating them to the Lakeland Pantry.
The organization continues to look for dedicated volunteers and sponsors. Further information can be found by visiting the website, www.gotrnorthwoods.org, or emailing executive director Jill Nicolson at [email protected].
