Guardian Group’s SHINE (Securing Hope for those in Need) was the 5k and 10K Charity Walk and Run held on Saturday November 25, 2017 at the Nelson Mandela Park, St. Clair.

Given the overwhelming support, twenty-five (25) charities will benefit from 100% of race proceeds totaling $369, 000.00.


The money received by these charities will make a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of children. Shine 2018 will take place on Saturday 24th November.
