Education is the key to a brighter future for the children of poor families of rural Haiti. This Spring you can help fund the education of 150 children from a very poor part of Haiti. The 10th Annual 5K Walk/Run for Education, the “Fun Bun Run” will pay for the tuition, uniform, books, and one meal per day for 150 children for an entire year. 

You can participate either On-Site or Virtually. The On-Site event is in Geneva on May 8th and welcomes competitive runners to casual walkers. Our Virtual race option runs April 27th- May 6th.
