The 5K run aims to raise funds to specifically assist Venezuelan families, with a particular focus on supporting the elderly and children facing hardships in the Carolinas. This effort is dedicated to providing targeted support that addresses the unique challenges experienced by these vulnerable members of our community, helping them rebuild their lives with the care and resources they require. Additionally, we are committed to continuing our outreach overseas, as done in the past, ensuring a comprehensive approach to supporting the Venezuelan community both locally and abroad. Your participation will play a crucial role by helping them rebuild their lives with the care and critical resources they require, both within our community and beyond.

We are committed to the safety and health of all of our participants and will follow the CDC guidelines at the time of the race.
