Run For The Cookies 5K

Want to earn money for YOUR Girl Scout troop?
Join the Go-Getter Challenge and raise funds for your troop’s next adventure!

📢 You don’t have to participate in the Run for the Cookies 5K to take part in this fundraiser. While it’s a natural add-on for race participants, any troop can join and start fundraising!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s easy – just follow these steps:

1. Set up your page – Click here or select the "Become a Fundraiser" option from the menu on the race homepage. Add your troop number, a troop photo, and a short message about what you’re raising money for—like a troop trip or community service project!

2. Share your fundraising link – Everyone is a potential supporter! Share the link to your fundraising page with your friends on social media, coworkers, neighborhood friends, etc.  

3. Keep the momentum going – Keep sharing and re-sharing your link! Friends and family love seeing updates, so don’t be shy! The more you share your page, the more likely you are to reach your goal!

4. Watch the money roll in! – At the end of November, your troop will receive 50%–70% of the funds you raise (see breakdown below). The remaining funds help cover Girl Scout memberships and provide financial aid, making Girl Scouting possible for all! You must raise at least $100 on your page to be eligible to receive your portion of the proceeds. 

💚 The funds you raise must be used for approved troop purchases, including meeting supplies, badge activities, camp fees, community service projects, and more. Last year, troops used their earnings to visit the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, fund Silver Award projects, and attend summer camp!
