According to the organizers, the Stann Creek Ecumenical College and SVG Yurumein Project, the multi-race is to raise funds in assistance of the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines affected by the recent eruptions of La Soufriere Volcano which left millions in damages and thousands of people displaced.
