Girls on the Run FilmFest

Join the Advisory Council of Girls on The Run Montgomery County at FilmFest on February 27, 2025!

GOTR FilmFest is a night of independent short films celebrating girls and women. It will also provide the opportunity for the community to learn more about Girls on the Run and its impact.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Girls on the Run Montgomery County, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Feature Presentation:

Stay tuned for this year's film line-up!

Recommended viewing age 13+

All ticket, raffle, and 50/50 ticket sale proceeds will support the Girls on the Run Scholarship Fund, which makes Girls on the Run accessible to all girls who wish to participate. Play a part in strengthening our community and celebrating diversity in storytelling!

2025 raffle prizes will be announced very soon! Past FilmFest raffle prizes have included: tickets to the Washington Nationals, Washington Wizards, and Strathmore Music Center; gift certificates to Framebridge, Salt and Sundry, and Nothing Bundt Cakes; wine class at Total Wine; wine package from Cooper's Hawk; signed player photo from Washington Capitals; jewelry from Tabletop; and more!

50/50: By popular demand, we will have a 50/50 again! The winner of the 50/50 will win half of the proceeds, with the remaining half benefitting Girls on the Run. The total amount of the 50/50 is determined by the value of the tickets entered.

Both raffle prize tickets and 50/50 tickets can be purchased separately in the ticket options menu. Tickets purchased separately do not include admission to FilmFest. Ticket purchasers do not need to attend FilmFest to be eligible to win a raffle prize or the 50/50.
