Every Cup, Every Cheer, Every Step

JCI Surigao North keeps the love and energy flowing at the RLSB Valentine's Fun Run.

United by movement, fueled by service.

JCI Surigao North proudly took part in the RLSB Valentine’s Fun Run as the 2nd-to-the-last hydration station, standing ready to refresh and encourage runners as they neared the final stretch. Every cup of water shared and every word of cheer echoed our commitment to be present and purposeful in moments that matter.

In line with our dedication to active citizenship, our chapter organized and managed a hydration station to help keep runners refreshed and encouraged throughout the course. This modest yet impactful effort highlights our belief that real service is felt most when we are present, hands-on, and responsive to the needs of the community. Our sincere appreciation to our water sponsors, Engr. Jessie Darryl Eviota and The JellyHabit, for their generous support in making this initiative possible.

This initiative reflects our #JourneyOfServiceAndPurpose —supporting community efforts that promote health, resilience, and togetherness. We applaud the Province of Surigao del Norte under the leadership of Governor Robert Lyndon S. Barbers for bringing people together through an event that celebrates wellness and unity.

Always – service at heart. Support in action.
