Total funds raised for children in Switzerland: CHF 137,846.50
800 runners stood at the starting line in Zürichhorn park, ready to run laps for the 18th run4kids charity event. Employees from 23 companies were joined by their friends and family members, all poised to do their bit towards ensuring the well-being of children in Switzerland. The run was a resounding success yet again, raising a total of CHF 137'846.50 for a great cause. The proceeds from this year’s run will go to fit4future, the biggest health promotion programme for Swiss schools, as well as to the charitable Swiss organisation Spielzeit Psychotherapie and the youth division of the Swiss athletics club TV Unterstrass.
