Run for your well-being.
Virtual Run to Give is back. Following the successes of the event in the past couple of years, Marriott’s portfolio of hotels and resorts in Indonesia will be holding their second virtual version of charity run event again this year, Run for Your Well-Being, Run to Give 2021.
Run to Give is an annual Marriott Asia Pacific program that has become an integral part of the company’s commitment to cultivate a people-first environment that promotes their associates’ well-being and drives its people to care for the communities where they do business. This year, 57 hotels from Marriott International hotels and resorts in Indonesia will come together to raise funds to support Bali Children Foundation, as well as Marriott associates who have been significantly impacted by the downturn in business during the pandemic. This month-long event will take place from 1 to 31 October 2021.
In addition to the fundraising objective, Run to Give 2021 highlights the importance of its associates’ health and well-being, especially with the pandemic and social distancing measures that have been implemented for almost 2 years. The pandemic has significantly affected people’s health and well-being to unprecedented measures; therefore, health and well-being have become a luxury. With this in mind, Marriott Indonesia through the 2021 Virtual Run to Give invites its associates and the general public to join the run, take some time to reflect, and care for their bodies and minds.
In cooperation with Bali Children Foundation, this year’s virtual run proceeds will be going towards helping thousands of children to complete school, to find employment, and to improve their lives and the life of their community, as well as towards the distribution of a Bersama Box filled with basic food items and necessities for approximately 4,000 associates across the country.
In addition to the hotels’ general managers and other associates, the general public can also join the run and support the cause. Runners everywhere are encouraged to run solo or in a team and are invited to participate in ways that are safe for them to do so: running in their neighbourhood, local park, yard, or even in the living room, whilst continuing to practise social distancing.
“The annual charity run is an integral part of our company’s TakeCare movement, which aims to empower associates to live by Marriott’s philosophy. We know that work can be busy, but we encourage our associates to pause and take care of their physical and mental well-being. We believe that by taking care of ourselves first, we can take care of others better. Our Virtual Run to Give provides them with the chance to be part of a community that appreciates, respects, shares kindness and contributes to society,” said Titus Rosier, General Manager of W Bali – Seminyak and Chairman of the Virtual Run to Give 2021.
This event has a registration fee of AUD15 (approximately IDR155,000), and as part of the registration, participants will receive an e-Certificate.
