RUN FOR GOODNESS
WHAT IS CHARITY RUN?
It is a method of fundraising for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) through endurance sports such as running. It brings together non-governmental organizations with new volunteers and ensures the strengthening of civil society. This method allows volunteers to email their family, friends and acquaintances with an announcement and call before participating in competitions such as national or international running/triathlon/duathlon/bicycle/swimming. In their announcements, they call for donations to the projects of the NGOs they support. Donations are made directly to the official bank account of the relevant NGO opened for the relevant project. 30% of the individual donations of the NGOs we support have started to be collected thanks to the charity conditions. It is a resource development method that is used successfully to support NGOs in the world. The amount of donations collected in this way in a year in America is 1.6 billion dollars (2014 data). The amount of donations collected in this way in just one run in the London Marathon has exceeded 50 million pounds and most of the people who run this marathon run for a purpose. In Turkey, the collective charity run campaign, which was announced and expanded for the first time in 2008 thanks to the establishment of Adım Adım, exceeded 100 million by 2020.
