New World Hotel sets fourth Run & Raise event
PART of its thrust of giving back to the community where it is situated in, New World Hotels and Resorts is bringing back for a fourth straight year its fund-raising Run & Raise event.
Slated for Jan. 21, 2018, Run & Raise 4 will be held at the Rajah Sulayman Park, Roxas Boulevard, Malate, Manila.
The proceeds of the running event will go to the ABS- CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc. (ALKFI) to aid them in their three major programs, namely, Operation Sagip, Bantay Kalikasan and Bantay Bata 163.
Run & Raise 4 will mark the third time that ALKFI will be a partner-beneficiary of the event, something that the people behind the foundation are very thankful for.
For New World Makati Hotel General Manager Farid Schoucair, the Run & Raise event is a program they are very committed to as it is in line with what they are as a company.
“This is basically part of the culture of our company. We are based here and we try to work with the community we are in and see where we can contribute in our own way and give back,” said Mr. Schoucair in an interview after the media preview of Run & Raise 4 last Friday.
“In the Philippines there are many causes to support, whether it is for children, sick people, the environment and so forth. We work with a lot of groups including ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc. as part of our corporate social responsibility thrust,” he added.
The New World Hotel official went on to share that they are very satisfied with how the event has steadily grown throughout the years both in participants and sponsors, and that they hope to continue building on it in the years to come so as to help more people.
For Run & Raise 4, registration fees are priced at P500 for the three- kilometer run, P600 (5 K ), P 750(10 K) and P 900(16 K ), inclusive of singlet, race bib and loot bag.
