Your participation or donation to the March 23, 2024 annual McDonald’s 5k/2k Run Against Crime will help non-profit Guam Crime Stoppers to continue operating and accepting anonymous tips that to date has led to an average of 500 annual crime tips and the return and disposal of $4 million worth of stolen property and drugs, respectively.
“This organization is not funded by any private or government agency, except from sponsorships and grants,” according to a solicitation letter signed by organization chairman Jimmy McDonald and McDonald’s Divina Evaristo, who is the vice chairwoman of GCS. “GCS has shown to be of assistance in solving numerous recent crimes from assaults to robberies.”
