The ‘Race for the Kids’ supports RBC’s Caribbean Children Cancer Fund that was established to assist children across the Caribbean 16 years and under, who were diagnosed with cancer.
RBC provides them with the necessary care and treatment they need to fight the disease. RBC ‘Race for the Kids’ 2016 laid down a signature benchmark as a “gold standard” family fun event and had over 700 participants.
