Event summary

Join us for the uplifting Virtual 5K for Haitian Education, taking place from Saturday, June 10th to Sunday, June 11th, 2023, in Mesa, Maricopa. This exciting event invites participants to walk, run, bike, or hike a distance of 3.1 miles, all while supporting a worthy cause. The event aims to provide essential educational resources for over 600 students across five schools in Haiti, a country facing significant challenges.

By participating in this virtual 5K, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that these children receive the education they deserve—something that half of Haiti's children currently lack access to. Every dollar raised will directly benefit educational programs, providing tuition and supplies for students and job security for their dedicated teachers. Whether you're a seasoned participant or new to the race, your involvement will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children. Let's come together to create a brighter future for Haiti, one step at a time!

Organiser's description

The past four months have been really difficult for the beautiful country of Haiti. One things our staff and children tell us as they live through these heavy days is that routine and purpose help ground them. And providing both is where we need your support!

Join Chances for Children in our annual Virtual 5K by walking, running, biking, or hiking 3.1 miles to support our students and teachers in Haiti! Your participation in Chances for Childrens virtual 5K will help over 600 students in our five schools continue to receive an education, something that 50% of Haitis children do not have access to. Every bit of our proceeds from this event goes immediately to our education program in Haiti. In a time where there is so much uncertainty in Haiti, it is important to offer these children something certain: a stable education thanks to caring teachers.

Your participation in our race will help to provide tuition and supplies for these children and continued employment for their teachers so that they can continue to support their families. Whether you are a returning participant or new to our Virtual 5K, your help is a gift to the work we do.
