The PaaralRun will be on August 11 and will begin at the Vicente Sotto St. (in front of PICC) CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. Run categories are 3k, 5k and 10k.
With the theme “Run for a Brighter Future” and supported by the AustralianAID, the PaaralRun 2012 is a fundraising project for the benefit of 30 Filipino children through World Vision’s Child Sponsorship Program. Not only does the PaaralRun serve as an engine to generate funds for scholarships of elementary students but at the same time it presents an opportunity for the beneficiaries of Australian education to “pay it forward”.
