2024 FOJPS Virtual 5K Results

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in or donated to our fourth annual virtual 5K – benefiting the students and teachers at John Paul Secondary School in Uganda!

Please watch the Kick-off video above which includes footage from the race in Chelekura. It was a wonderful day and the students and teachers were all so happy to be part of a fundraiser helping their school. In fact, the teachers came together to take up a collection in order to help raise money for the 5K event.    They see the impact the overcrowded classrooms has on their students, and they want to help.

The 5K week was a huge success: we had 233 participants from all around the world and we received tons of great photos of people walking, running, rolling for the kids. The 2X ticket price match raised an additional $8600! Combined with tickets and donations, YOU raised over $52,500 for JPSS! We are thrilled with the results! Congratulations to all of you, and especially our photo winners below!
