CONFIDENCE BY THE MINUTE

Every 30 minutes you move helps fund scholarships for middle school girls to access life-changing confidence programs — completely free.

How does Confidence By The Minute work?

💪 Move your body
Every 30 minutes of movement—whether it’s walking, stretching, dancing, biking, yoga, etc.—will generate donations for ZGiRLS, thanks to generous sponsors. You will track and submit your movement minutes weekly from September 1 - 30. Every minute counts!

🎯 Fundraise with your community
You’ll get a personal fundraising page to ask friends and family to support your efforts. Every $129 you raise provides a full ZGiRLS scholarship for a girl in need.

🏆 Earn prizes & build confidence
For every $25 raised from your network, you’ll earn an entry into our raffle prize drawing. You can also earn entries for hitting movement milestones, sharing on social media, or referring friends to join the movement. 

🎉 Together, we’ll reach our $65,000 goal

Everyone's individual efforts will add up in a big way and help the team reach our overall fundraising goal to provide hundreds of scholarships for girls to join the ZGiRLS Confidence Program!
