The FIT For Charity Run 2021 Donation Ceremony was held online on February 16th, 2022, to conclude the 2021 event. Sponsors, Donors, representatives of beneficiary charity organisations, and FIT For Charity organising committee members attended this online event.

FIT For Charity Run 2021 was held over one month in November 2021 with 2,399 participants from 54 financial services and related foreign and domestic firms. As in the previous year, the charity event was held online, but the total number of posts was extremely high, exceeding 14,000.

We raised donation funds through financial support from our Sponsor firms, participation fees, and goods and services provided by our Donors. After deducting operating expenses and foreign exchange fees, JPY 30,830,000 will be donated equally to our five non-profit organisations.

The FIT For Charity Run 2021 Donation Ceremony opened with welcome remarks from the Organising Committee Co-Chairs who shared highlights of the event, followed by presentations by representatives of the five organisations on how they plan to use the donated funds. Through the beneficiary’s presentations, the attendees gained a deeper understanding of the challenges we face in our society and the charities’ efforts in addressing these issues. Each representative also emphasized their commitment to make best use of the funds as well as the expected effects and positive impacts of using our donations from FIT.

FIT For Charity Run brings the financial industry together to contribute to the society and builds stronger relationships between the participating firms. While raising donation funds is one of the main objectives of the event, it also aims to facilitate positive outcomes for the beneficiary charity organisations and the benefactors by providing opportunities for both parties to interact with each other.

The donation ceremony marks the completion of the annual FIT For Charity Run event operations, but we are actively looking for new volunteers to join our organising committee and work together with us to continue FIT For Charity Run.

Preparations for FIT For Charity Run 2022 will likely kick off in an uncertain environment where we continue to deal with the corona virus. We will continue to strive for an event format which ensures participants’ safety and drives engagement to deliver the best outcomes for our beneficiaries, sponsors, supporters, donors, runners and volunteers. We will kick off a volunteer team to organise the 2022 event in March and information regarding the 2022 FIT For Charity Run will be posted on this website once confirmed.

We look forward to your continued support of the FIT For Charity Run.
