Sofitel- Runrio
From the proceeds of Sofitel-Runrio Battle of the Sexes, They were now able to buy a van for the use of Virlanie Foundation.
Sofitel has always made initiatives to raise funds to help the less fortunate through the years. Through the two Sofitel-Runrio Battle of the Sexes in 2013, they were able to raise about P1.5 million. Part of that was used to purchase a van for the Virlanie Foundation. Virlanie Foundation is a foundation that cares for children in need of special protection; those who are abandoned, abused, exploited, neglected, orphaned, poor. The funds raised for them can allow Virlanie to help more kids – take them away from the discomfort of the streets and help them establish a better life. That’s what each stride can do by joining Sofitel Manila Half Marathon.
Aside from being for a cause, The Sofitel Manila Half Marathon is an appreciation of Manila’s heritage as you get to appreciate the panoramic view of Manila Bay and all the scenic structures along Roxas Boulevard. The Sofitel Manila Half Marathon aims to be at par with other international marathons such as the Boston Marathon or Singapore Marathon.
