Charities
All proceeds from the Guardian Group “Keep It Alive” 5K Night Runs are donated to charity and used to procure medical equipment for the beneficiary hospitals.
As the main aim of the race events is to raise funds to assist with Jamaica’s health sector, hospitals are the main beneficiaries of the runs. In addition Guardian Group Foundation partners with several Service Clubs to help in raising funds and getting support for the race events, with part proceeds going back to the Club for their charity projects.
