JPCCU Foundation Benevolent 5K

The Jamaica Police Co-operative Credit Union Ltd. (JPCCU) Foundation is an established non-profit organization dedicated to making a significant difference in the lives of those less fortunate Jamaicans. Our foundation is notably recognized for supporting individuals, such as serving JPCCU members with their medical expenses and procedures as well as providing scholarships and bursaries to fortify educational opportunities.

As part of our ongoing commitment to these aims, we are set to host our annual 5K Run/Walk event on Sunday, May 19, 2024 commencing at 6:30 a.m. at the Police Officers Club, Hope Road, Kingston. This event serves as a beacon of community engagement, fitness, and fund-raising. It not only brings our community together for a common cause but roots these connections in a spirit of compassion and mutual assistance

The contribution is $2,000 and features Mylaps BibTag timing.
