How to Get Involved
Over the last years, thanks to increased awareness and the efforts of its supporters, FIT For Charity Run has grown to become a well-recognised event in the financial industry in Tokyo. The inaugural FIT For Charity Run was held in 2005 with about 1,500 participants from the financial industry and related businesses. Strong interest has led to rapid expansion of scale and participation levels, allowing contributions to double in 2006 and double again in 2007. 2008 and 2009 were equally successful years with consistently high levels of donations and an increase in participating organisations as well as the actual number of participants. In both years, the total funds donated were close to JPY 55 million. In 2010 a record was set with 6,716 individuals from 101 financial services and related foreign and domestic organisations participating to raise a record of approximately JPY 68 million for local causes.
