Giving Back to the Community

The Jaleta Pacers are not just a running group; they are also a committed group of individuals, giving back to their communities by actively participating in various fundraising events. 

In 2009, the Pacers running group created a 2010 calendar featuring local runners in some of their favourite locations throughout the city of Regina.  The group donated $25,000 from the proceeds to the Regina Early Learning Centre.

Also in 2009, 11 Jaleta Pacer members partnered with Joints in Motion and raised $100,000 to benefit the Arthritis Society.

In 2011, The Pacers partnered with the RCMP “Depot” Division and held the first annual Royal Road Race with $10,000 in proceeds going to The Jaleta Pacers Scholarship Fund and The Casey Foundation.

In addition to being family and community role models, each member of the Jaleta Pacers is committed to giving back to the community, advocating wellness and combating obesity.
