CHF 204'656.55 - Record revenue at the 16th run4kids

Close to 1,000 employees from 24 Zurich-based companies were joined by numerous individual runners to take part in this event in Zürichhorn on 30 October 2016. Many of them were reminded of their worthwhile efforts on the following day thanks to their aching muscles. The proceeds of CHF 204'656.55 from the 2016 run have been allocated to the Chance Foundation for Critically Ill Children at Zurich Children’s Hospital Stiftung-Chance für das kritisch kranke Kind and fit4future, two organisations that have been campaigning for well-being and healthy living among children in Switzerland for a number of years.

Chance Foundation for Critically Ill Children at Zurich Children’s Hospital

The Chance Foundation for Critically Ill Children at Zurich Children’s Hospital offers various services to help seriously ill or injured children and make their stay in the intensive card wards and neonatal department at Zurich Children’s Hospital that bit easier. The foundation also finances other worthwhile services, including a care team to support the families of terminally ill children, allowing them to say goodbye to their children in peace and as befits their own personal needs.

Cleven Foundation – fit4future

The Cleven Foundation has been committed to promoting healthy living among children since 2005. With more than 300 events held annually in Switzerland, fit4future is not only the charitable organisation’s main project, but it is also Switzerland’s biggest initiative campaigning for this cause. More than 150,000 children, parents and teachers benefit free of charge from this science-based programme, which gets to grips with the issues of exercise, nutrition and brain fitness. www.fit-4-future.ch
