Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women - St. John's
Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women - St. John's is scheduled for June 12, 2027 at Dominion Lake Avenue, 20 Lake Ave, St. John's, NL A1A 1H4, Canada. The event offers multiple distances:
- 1K Little Steps
- 5K
- 10K
The run raises funds for women’s mental health programs delivered by Stella’s Circle. Proceeds support two local programs, Naomi Centre and the Just Us Women’s Centre. Funds from the event sustain a shared Peer Support Worker, which provides nearly 2,000 hours of direct mental health support each year.
Services enabled by the fundraising include one-on-one counselling and emotional support, group programs focused on healing and connection, outreach to women in custody and support through reintegration, advocacy and system navigation including accompaniment to court, and community-building activities such as shared meals and walking groups. The description emphasizes ongoing, relationship-based care rather than one-time assistance.
Title sponsorship for the event is provided by Shoppers Drug Mart. The Stella’s Circle fundraising goal listed on the event page is CA$33,000 and the current amount raised is CA$54.72.
