Annual East Coast 5K (Fundraiser)

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with The Blueprint Foundation Inc.'s Annual East Coast 5K. This event is more than a race. It is a community wellness initiative designed to promote healthy lifestyles, strengthen community connections, and create positive opportunities for residents of Victoria Village and surrounding communities.

Many rural communities in Guyana face challenges related to physical inactivity, limited access to wellness education, and fewer opportunities to participate in organized health and recreational programs. The Annual East Coast 5K was created to address these challenges by bringing together families, youth, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and volunteers for a day focused on health, education, and community empowerment.
