Join Scott Alder in Supporting Girl Scouts!

Looking for an easy way to support the Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington? Here's a simple fun way to do it!

Scott Alder is running the Marine Corps Marathon on October 28, and he has graciously decided to raise money for Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington in the process! Scott is using Crowdrise.com to raise money, and is more than halfway to his original goal of $1,000!

Scott is even offering to match gifts up to $750! He suggests that a great donation would be $1 per mile, or $26 - which would turn into $52 with his match! Please support Scott and Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington! Click here to make a donation.

Scott's donation is a great way to contribute to Girl Scouts! Here are some other ways you or your family can support GSOSW:

Become A Member of the 1912 Society!
In honor of 100 years of Girl Scouting, Girl Scouts Oregon and Southwest Washington is proud to introduce the 1912 Society! Become a member today by making a one-time gift of $100 or more between now and December 2012. Your contribution will help continue the time-honored tradition of Girl Scouting for the next 100 years. Find more information here. 

You choose Girl Scouting for your girl because you want the best for her. You know first-hand about the opportunities Girl Scouting offers, the way Girl Scout activities turn ordinary days into life-long memories. What you may not know is how crucial your financial support is to keep Girl Scouting strong in your community. It costs about $300 a year to support each girl who participates through a volunteer-led experience. In order to provide a positive experience for all girls in our council, we count on our member families to support us locally through Family Partnership.  Become a Family Partner today »
