In 2016 115 girls in Logan County in third through eighth grades participated in Girls On The Run. This is a program that develops confidence through accomplishment and establishes a lifetime appreciation of fitness and healthy living. Participants in the last year came from Beason, Delevan, Lincoln, Mason City, Middletown and New Holland in Logan County. About 100 additional adult volunteers also assist with the training and mentoring during the program, and with the 5K which each participant runs at the end of the school year. United Way funding is used to provide financial assistance to families who otherwise could not afford to have their daughters participate. About 57% of participants requested assistant which was able to be granted in 2016 & 2017, in part through United Way funding.
