VISION

Vecna Cares™ and the College Park Cares 5K are committed to giving back to the community through volunteering and supporting charities in Prince Georges County that are dedicated to improving access to and quality of care for underserved populations. Race proceeds will benefit several local charities including Dimensions Healthcare System.

Please join with us in making a difference by building our communities through our children. We are inviting you to participate in this worthwhile event as a runner, a sponsor, or a volunteer. Every donation helps and we encourage creativity (and of course generosity) when giving. Last year, business partners donated money, food, giveaways, prizes, and even volunteer time.
