PRC RECOGNIZES MILLION VOLUNTEER RUN SUPPORTERS

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) gratefully acknowledges the relentless efforts of local personalities, including the media, in supporting the 5th Million Volunteer Run (MVR), the largest humanitarian run in the country.

“I would like to express my sincerest gratitude and give a salute to these people, for encouraging the public to participate in the largest humanitarian run in the country. Your support will enable us to provide the needs of families severely affected by calamities and conflicts,” PRC Chairman and CEO Richard Gordon said.

Local personalities who collaborated with PRC for the promotion of the Million Volunteer Run include celebrities Robbie Domingo, Jerald Napoles, Kim Molina, Ogie Alcasid, Martin Nievera, Jeffrey Santos, news anchors Arnold Clavio, Connie Sison, Umagang Kay Ganda, and Eat Bulaga hosts, Mayors Isko Moreno of Manila, Richard Gomez of Ormoc City, and Vico Sotto of Pasig City.

Gordon urged the public to do something life-changing and help Red Cross address humanitarian problems before they even occur.

The fifth Million Volunteer Run (MVR) will be held on December 8, at Quirino Grandstand, Manila and other parts of the country with the goal of raising funds to build the capacity of PRC’s 104 chapters by acquiring life-saving equipment, such as, ambulances, boats, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles; as well as conducting first aid and disaster resilience trainings in communities.

For only ₱700, one can contribute to the cause by joining the run, which has two distances – 3k and 5k. For details, send email to run@redcross.org.ph.
