RBC Race for the Kids is back in St. John’s, NL for year two! Held over the Thanksgiving long weekend, this family-friendly event unites our community for fitness, fun, and fundraising in support of the Janeway.
Where do the funds go?
Funds raised through RBC Race for the Kids support mental health and community wellness initiatives for children and families throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
Your fundraising helps expand access to mental health support, strengthen coping skills, and provide families with tools and guidance during challenging times. As demand continues to grow, your support helps more children and youth connect with the services they need.
Together, we are creating a stronger, healthier future for every child and family in Newfoundland and Labrador. By giving kids the support they need today, you’re helping build a brighter tomorrow, one step, one family, and one community at a time.
