The RBC Race for the Kids is a compelling series of global charitable runs supporting children’s causes that started in 2009 with an inaugural event in New York City. In addition to NYC, runs are also held in 15 major cities around the world, including Chicago, Minneapolis, Toronto, London and Sydney. In the Caribbean, there are races in Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago.
The inaugural Bahamas Race will be the 18th global Race and 3rd within the Caribbean. We have chosen The Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) as our partner and the beneficiary of the funds. The vast majority of BTVI students represent the next generation of entrepreneurs, tradespeople and skilled labourers and we believe the improvement of the learning environment and the enhancement of skill sets of the students will contribute to their global competitiveness and economic independence, which will also tangibly impact the Bahamian economy.
The funds will be used for the advancement of the learning environment at BTVI which includes diagnostic and learner-centered teaching techniques to support 21st century educational goals and skills-building. In the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, the first US$10,000 raised, will be directed to support the restoration of the Abaco and Freeport campuses. Additionally, a US$10,000 donation will be made to BTVI’s early alert STAR program that identifies at-risk students.
Our Race is a 5K Walk/Run Family event and will be incorporated into the existing Marathon Bahamas Race weekend, within the Sunday Marathon. The RBC Race will have its unique start and lane and will culminate in a fun, entertainment RBC Village.
Bring the entire family!!
