JMU Global Medical Brigades 3rd Annual Shamrock 5k

🍀 Event Overview

James Madison University Global Medical Brigades 3rd Annual Shamrock 5k is a 5k with a deeper purpose. Global Medical Brigades is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that connects people in developing nations to healthcare through the establishment of clinics, facilities, and resources.

• History: The chapter was created two years ago by Elizabeth Manning and Kayci Carrier, now our former President and current Vice President.
• Previous Achievements: Last year, the success of our 5k allowed our organization to grow to over 40 volunteers who completed a brigade in Belize last summer.
• Current Goal: To achieve this year's brigade in Guatemala, each volunteer must fundraise over $2000.
• Support: 100% of the proceeds will be donated towards them and their dedicated journey to medically serve Guatemala!
