Arizona Charitable Tax Credit
Taxes can be complicated. Making a difference for girls and families in our community doesn't have to be!
As a Qualifying Charitable Organization, Girls on the Run serving Maricopa & Pinal Counties is eligible for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit Program. This means that by making donations up to $495 (individual) or $987 (couples filing jointly) to Girls on the Run serving Maricopa & Pinal Counties (by sponsoring a girl or girls for example!), you can receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your AZ taxes.
State tax credits are taken when you file your AZ personal tax return, which can result in either less taxes owed or a larger refund. No itemizing is necessary, and you can combine this credit with others including public and private school credits!

Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Rebecca Heiss

What if accepting and owning our stress and anxiety can produce positive results in our lives?
What if worries and fears can help us be more confident, powerful and productive?
What if pushing back on the long-held mantra of "following our instincts" might lead us closer to achieving success and fulfillment?
Rebecca knows fear. As a stress physiologist, Dr. Rebecca Heiss is dedicated to helping us overcome our instinctual limitations - the ancient, often subconscious fears that hold us back from our optimal performance and our happiest lives. Her research has been designated "transformative" by the National Science Foundation and it is waking up audiences around the world.
As the author of two books, Springboard and Instinct, founder and CEO of the leadership 360-review mobile application, icueity, and highly sought-after professional speaker, Rebecca has found her calling in helping others recognize the power of biological applications in their lives. A former educator, Dr. Heiss spent much of her earlier career in the classroom at both the high school and college levels and was recruited to be a founding member of an innovative charter school with a focus on entrepreneurial thinking and impact-based learning. Today she shares her Fear[less] Stress formula to transform fear to fuel from stages around the world as a full-time speaker and facilitator of her Fearless Masterclass. She continues her research on how we can turn trauma into Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) rather than PTSD.
Rebecca's "fear(less)" message inspires hope and actionable insights to train our brains to work for us, rather than against us in times of challenge, change and uncertainty. With surprising humor and palpable energy, she wins over her audiences with interactive, inspiring, and timely takeaways.
Rebecca lives in South Carolina with her spoiled rotten dogs named Guinness & Murphy and every day tries to live her life motto: "Spread Happy."
