Nèg Mawon 5k run/walk

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Join us for the Second annual Neg Mawon 5K Run/Walk, a fundraising event that celebrates the Haitian community and the powerful symbol of the Neg Mawon statue. This statue stands for the freedom of Black people worldwide and represents Haiti's ongoing fight to build a nation where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

👟 Inclusivity and Community

This 5K is a friendly, inclusive race that welcomes runners, walkers, and joggers of all paces. It’s a great way to connect with the Haitian community, have fun, and support a meaningful cause. Whether you’re running or walking, your participation makes a difference!

💰 Support for Haiti

Proceeds from the event will go directly to supporting the vital work that VOCHEI and HASC are doing in Haiti. Funds will help provide education sponsorship for children and continue to support hospitals in Cabaret, Cité Soleil, and Carrefour. By participating, you’re helping ensure that essential resources like education and healthcare reach those on the ground in Haiti.

🌍 Empowerment and Impact

We believe in a Haiti where resources are shared to empower local communities. Everyone can play a role in shaping a brighter future for Haiti, and by joining this 5K, you are making an impact!
