RAC Gives Back

We are strong believers in supporting the community we live in. When you shop our private label brand, we give 10% back to a local charity partner.

For 2023, we are excited to partner with Girls On The Run (GOTR) Great Lakes Bay. At the end of the year, we will donate 10% of the proceeds from our private label apparel brand.

Girls on the Run (GOTR) Great Lakes Bay inspires girls in 3rd-8th grade to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun curriculum which creatively integrates running, walking, and other physical activities. Trained volunteer coaches guide and mentor girls in small groups twice a week, and over the course of the 10-week season, girls learn that their worth comes from within, that healthy relationships matter, and that they can be a force for good in their community.  The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a non-competitive 5K event that celebrates confidence through accomplishment.

Why is Girls on the Run important? As early as age 9, girls’ self-confidence begins to decline. Fifty percent of girls age 10-13 experience bullying such as name-calling and exclusion at a time when peer relationships become more central to girls' lives. Additionally, physical activity levels decline starting at age 10 and continue to decline throughout adolescence. But, it doesn’t have to be this way. GOTR lessons promote social-emotional learning and give girls tools to successfully navigate life experiences. Each session uses physical activity and engaging lessons to encourage girls to stand up for themselves and others and practice empathy, inclusion and acceptance.
