Each year, Saint James participates in the annual Race Against Racism to help support the YWCA's social justice and advocacy programs. The YWCA is the oldest and largest multi-racial women's organization in the world. Since its inception in 1855, it has been at the forefront of working for justice, equity and peace through the elimination of racism.

*In the 1830s, English schoolboys developed a game called Hares and Hounds: "Hounds" would chase "hares," who would leave paper trails through woods and hills for the hounds to follow. A group of Londoners took up the game in 1867 as a way to stay in shape and adopted the name Harriers.
