Letter from Staff

Dear friends of American Indian youth,

We, at Running Strong, proudly present our 2013 Annual Report, sharing the work that you make possible. This year we celebrate a great honor. Billy Mills received the 2012 Presidential Citizen’s Medal from President Obama for his work with Running Strong for American Indian Youth®. The Presidential Citizens Medal is the second highest civilian award in the United States. It recognizes individuals “who [have] performed exemplary deeds or services for his or her country or fellow citizens.” We share this honor with you.

Each year, we face unique challenges that provide us with new opportunities for our organization to develop our services and extend them to even more Native children. Each day we strive for excellence, and are committed to completing our mission with efficiency, transparency, and integrity.

As we look to the future, we are excited for the many 2014 celebrations kicking off the 50th Anniversary of Billy’s Olympic gold medal win at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964. Running Strong is celebrating Billy’s incredible victory at the Olympic games 50 years ago, as well as the tremendous impact he has had on Native youth in the years since, with special events and programs throughout the year.

Your loyalty and generosity are reflected on every page of this annual report. As you take the time to read through these pages, we hope you will share our pride in the incredibly important work that you make possible to make life

better for these precious children. Thank you!

Spotlight on Board Member Ashley Wahiaronkwas Morris

Ashley Wahiaronkwas Morris is from the Wolf Clan and of the Mohawk Nation. She currently resides in Kahnaw à:ke Mohawk Territory, located in Quebec, Canada. Being a young Native woman, Ashley is familiar with the realities faced by American Indian youth and became involved with Running Strong in order to take part in its efforts to promote the self-sustainability and empowerment of Native communities. Her areas of interest include Indigenous governance, cultural revitalization and the promotion of post-secondary education among Native youth. Ashley became an inaugural Youth Member/Director for Running Strong’s Board of Directors in 2011. As a voting Board member, Ashley hopes to work in assisting Native youth across Turtle Island (North America) by positively impacting the lives of her people. Ashley is a graduate of Concordia University’s B.A. Sociology program, and currently acts as an organizer and co-facilitator of a local community workshop and women’s group.

“For me, the moment of a lifetime, for my Running Strong family, a medal I humbly accept on your behalf.”

-Billy Mills, on receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal

Running Strong for American Indian Youth® • 2013 Annual Report2

Growing up as an Oglala Lakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Billy Mills encountered the same challenges that many American Indian youth continue to face today. He knows what it means to feel hungry or cold and see your family and community struggle. Yet, despite these challenges, Billy never gave up on his dream.

Billy Mills made his dream come true by shocking the world to win an Olympic gold medal in the 10,000-meter race at the Tokyo Olympic Games. He set a new Olympic record of 28 minutes, 24.4 seconds and is still the only American to ever win a gold medal in the 10K event. His come-from-behind upset has been called the second greatest moment in Olympic history.

In Lakota culture, someone who achieves great success has a ‘giveaway’ to thank the support system of family and friends who helped him or her achieve a goal. As part of his effort to give back to his community, Billy cofounded Running Strong for American Indian Youth® in

1986 with Christian Relief Services’ President, Gene Krizek, and has been the organization’s National Spokesperson ever since. Today, Billy travels over 300 days every year. He visits American Indian communities throughout the U.S. and speaks to the youth about healthy lifestyles and taking pride in their heritage.

In February 2013, Billy was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Obama in honor of his service with Running Strong for American Indian Youth®. The Presidential Citizens Medal is the second highest civilian award in the United States, bestowed by the President in recognition of individuals “who [have] performed exemplary deeds or services for his or her country or fellow citizens.” We know that you share in Billy’s honor. His vision leads our work as we strive to inspire the next generation to find and follow their dreams like Billy. It is caring individuals like you who make Running Strong possible, and can make Native children’s dreams come true.

From Dreamer to LeaderSpotlight on Billy Mills

“ I am humbled and honored to be recognized by the President in this extraordinary way. The most powerful thing you can give to a child is a dream. I hope every child in Indian Country knows what is possible if you follow your dream.”

Billy Mills, upon receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal, February 15, 2013

Presidential Citizens Medal, 2013.


2014 is a landmark year for us at Running Strong. It marks Billy’s 50th anniversary of winning the gold medal at the Olympics, as well as the 25th anniversary of our Running Strong Tour and 10th Anniversary of Team Running Strong, our Marine Corps Marathon team. This coming year, we are planning multiple events and launching program initiatives that celebrate Billy’s life and accomplishments and look forward to the next 50 years.

We look forward to sharing our appreciation of our National Spokesperson with you all year long, and hope you join us at our events — the Tour, the Marathon, and more, to celebrate and honor our beloved Billy.

From the beginning, Running Strong has been proudly partnering with community-based gardening programs. These programs not only provide American Indian families with wholesome, nutritious food, they also teach life skills, good nutrition and guide Native families on the path to self-sufficiency.

This year, we were delighted to fund a new project for our Slim Buttes Agricultural Development Program (SBAG). Having seen the success of our previously-funded greenhouses for Can Wigmunke (The Rainbow Tree) and the Cheyenne River Youth Project®, Running Strong donated a new, special type of greenhouse, called a hoop house, to the SBAG program for their gardens. The hoop house protects gardens from the

intense desert heat in the summer and the frigid cold climate in the winter. By giving seedlings a jumpstart on the growing season, gardens are more likely to survive (and thrive!).

Many of our program partners also host local farmers and gatherers markets to make fresh fruit and vegetables more accessible in their communities. With Running Strong’s support, gardeners can sell their

produce locally, earning income and increasing the availability of affordable, nutritious food.

Please visit www.IndianYouth.org to learn more about some of the gardens we support:

• Can Wigmunke (The Rainbow Tree)

• Cheyenne River Youth Project® Children’s Garden

• Brave Heart White Swan Garden

• Euchee Language Project Traditional Garden

• Slim Buttes Agricultural Development Program

Growing SuccessHip-Hoop Hooray!

“ It’s a cornerstone for our youth project, whether we’re talking about meals and snacks or about youth programming that helps connect our children with their land.”-Julie Garreau, Executive Director, Cheyenne River Youth Project®

“The gardens at the Cheyenne River Youth Project® and Slim Buttes were an inspiration to me.” -Becker Davis, Running Strong Tour participant,

“ The gardens at the Cheyenne River Youth Project® looked great!”

Running Strong is dedicated to meeting basic needs of American Indian youth. Basic needs form the foundation of a healthy child. It is hard to succeed in school if a child is hungry, cold, or does not have school supplies. While many Native families struggle economically, they want to care of their children. We donate hundreds of warm coats, hats, shoes, and blankets to help people survive the harsh Western Plains winters; backpacks and school supplies to ensure equal opportunity at educational success; toys during the holiday season to spread joy; and hygiene kits filled with shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes to help children stay healthy.

Thanks to loyal supporters like you, Running Strong has more than doubled the amount of backpacks

filled with school supplies, donating a total of 8,000 to American Indian students this year. Each backpack was pre-filled with the supplies that an Elementary school student, Junior High School or High School student may need. Elementary school backpacks included supplies like pencils, an eraser, glue stick, scissors, pens, and crayons. Junior High and High School backpacks were filled with colored pencils, a pencil sharpener, a ruler, highlighters, an eraser, pens and pencils, spiral notebooks, portfolio folders, and a pocket size calculator.

1,500 adults and 3,000 children received brand-new coats with hoods, along with 900 new hats and 2,600 new pairs of shoes this year. We also donated 2,000 hygiene kits and 80,640 diapers to American Indian children.

Please visit www.IndianYouth.org to learn more about our basic needs programs.

Providing HopeCaring for Native Children

“ [Our area] has a high poverty level and it’s very cold in the winter. Your generosity has a real and positive effect on these wonderful people.”

-Joseph Karnes, Director of Global Running Culture


The Euchee (Yuchi) Language Project is dedicated to teaching their tribe about Euchee language, culture, and history. The project has three components: an after school language program for children ages 3 to 18, a Master-Apprentice program for young adults and instructors, and a community language class offered one evening a week.

A new addition to the Euchee (Yuchi) Language Project is its heritage garden project. This program aims to teach children how to grow traditional Euchee foods with indigenous seeds. With these programs, the Euchee (Yuchi) Project is able to reach out to people of all ages in an attempt to preserve their culture.

Please visit www.IndianYouth.org to learn all about our culture and language programs including:

• Brave Heart Society

• First Environment Collaborative

• Little White Buffalo Project

Culture and LanguageStrength in Tradtional Ways Spotlight:

Henry K’asA WashburnOn December 23, 2012, one of the last fluent speakers of the Yuchi language, Henry K’asA Washburn, passed away at the age of 88. Washburn was the only individual able to speak the male version of the Yuchi language fluently. In the Yuchi language, men and women use different pronouns, noun classes, and family terms; therefore, Washburn was the only person able to teach young men their corresponding version of the language.1

Washburn also taught Yuchi men a significant ceremonial funeral procedure that only Yuchi men can perform.2

Washburn was incredibly dedicated to preserving his native language and culture. He volunteered his time to the Euchee (Yuchi) Language Project every single day in the final years of his life to ensure the proliferation of the Yuchi language. He will certainly be missed by many, but his impact will be felt for generations.

“ We would like to extend our greatest appreciation for continuing to believe in our work as we breathe new life into our Yuchi Language.”

– Richard GroundsExecutive Director of Euchee Language Project


This year, Running Strong made a $25,000 challenge grant to the Cheyenne River Youth Project® to help them renovate the Main Youth Center. “The Main” provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment for Cheyenne River children, ages 4-12, to play after school and during the summer. Originally built by Running Strong in 1999, the beloved Main needed some repairs. The challenge was met, and $50,000 was made available to improve the space. This youth center serves between 60 and 80 children daily, providing them with programs such as the academic support program “Main University,” arts and crafts, garden club, birthday parties, seasonal parties to help celebrate the holidays, and many more. To learn more about our youth programs please visit www.IndianYouth.org.

Youth DevelopmentA Place to Be Kids

“ All three children participated in our Main University program in which they attended classes taught by long-term volunteers. They all graduated and have been impressive youth leaders ever since. Many of the younger children look up to them and follow by example.”

–Julie Garreau , Executive Director, Cheyenne River Youth Project®


Spotlight: Wendell at MenomineeRunning Strong has been privileged to partner with Wendell Waukau, Superintendent at Menominee Indian School District (MISD), during the past two years. Wendell and his family of four are members of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. He has served as Superintendent of MISD for last nine years, where he has aided in the district’s achievement of a 92 percent graduation rate, as well as many individual school accomplishments.

Wendell has helped the Smart Sacks program succeed by fostering collaboration between MISD and the rest of the community. A well known figure within the community, Wendell has worked to spread health and wellness throughout his school district and the Menominee Nation. He was recognized by the White House as a “Champion of Change,” and continues to improve MISD through multiple efforts, including by partnering with Running Strong.

In 2011, Running Strong partnered with the Menominee Indian School District to give their pre-K4 – 3rd

grade students a “Smart Sack,” or backpack stuffed with nutritious snacks so that they would have food to eat on the weekends and school breaks when they didn’t have a free school breakfast and lunch.

Teachers saw a big difference and came to Running Strong to help more kids in their school. Together, we worked out a plan to expand “Smart Sacks” for the entire school through the 5th grade, with Running Strong donating 9,000 smart sacks this year!

After consulting with the school nutritionist, Running Strong sent healthy foods like milk, sunflower seeds, chicken noodle soup, beef stew, fruit and grain bars, oatmeal,

and raisins for each week. Teachers incorporated lessons about healthy eating that included foods found in each smart sack. School volunteers packed and distributed the sacks at the end of each week.

Thanks in part to this program the Menominee Indian School District became the first school on an Indian Reservation in the Midwest to win Silver in the USDA US Healthier School Challenge for meeting rigorous standards for school meals, physical activity, and nutrition education. They are a national model of good practices to help hungry children succeed in school.

Fueling MindsSmart Sacks

“ [Running Strong] provides excellent opportunities for community collaboration, which are powerful tools for addressing educational challenges that affect the community…”

-Wendell


Running Strong makes donations during the holidays to help American Indian children and their families celebrate the warmth of the season. We donated 1,450 25-pound food boxes, each containing a Thanksgiving turkey and all the sides, to families living on Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservations along with hundreds of additional turkeys.

Running Strong also spreads joy during the Christmas season. Along with donating 1,450 Christmas food boxes each with roaster chickens, sides and candy canes, we also donated hundreds of turkeys. We provided grants for holiday parties to eight different American Indian programs spread throughout North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Colorado, and Oklahoma. These

festivities provided Native families with Christmas cheer by giving them the opportunity to come together as a community to eat, play, and celebrate. Running Strong became one of Santa’s elves to help ensure Native children received a Christmas gift. This year, Running Strong donated 2,422 toys and raised funds for the Cheyenne River Youth Project® annual toy drive, helping 1,200 American Indian children have a Merry Christmas.

Please visit www.IndianYouth.org to learn more about Running Strong’s seasonal programs,

‘Tis the SeasonSpreading Cheer

“ My kids have participated in the toy drive about 2-3 years and they always get really nice things and they are always happy. A lot of times we can’t do as much for our kids as we’d like to but it’s really nice to have them wake up on Christmas morning and have an abundance of gifts. It really makes us feel good.”
