Cedro 5K

Cedro 5K

Manna's fourth annual 5K is officially scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 18th! The 5K is an incredible event that involves the community members of Cedro Galán as agents of change in their community. All funds raised from the event will go directly towards our Cedro Galán medical clinic, the community’s main primary care facility. 

This year, we aim to have over 300 participants run and walk in the event to raise a total of $8,000. To do this, we have enlisted the help of community team leaders. Team leaders are volunteers from Cedro Galán who have chosen to rally their community to participate in the race. These leaders are passionate about creating a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their families. The team leaders for 2017 are Lupe, Martha, Flor, Gabriela, Milagro, Lisseth, Emerita, and Paola. Their commitment to the 5K and raising funds for their community clinic is unmatched. These women are not only spreading the word about the big event, they are participating in a 6-week boot camp to prepare for their own participation in the race! Meet our team leaders, hear their stories below, and support their efforts by reading below!

Thank You from Cedro Galán

The Cedro 5K was a huge success!

Your support made it possible for 300 community members to participate in the third annual Cedro 5K. This community health-focused event raised $7,120 to benefit the Cedro Health Clinic. The Cedro Clinic will provide an estimated 2,000 medical consultations in 2016, and is the only prescribing clinic open 5 days a week. The clinic's success means so much for the health of this wonderful community, and you made it all possible! 

THANK YOU!
