THANK YOU all you people of Delhi for making the Vodafone Delhi Half Marathon a huge success!
Over 33,000 people took part in the Half Marathon, the Great Delhi Run, Senior Citizens run and the Wheelchair event, much more than earlier predicted. Some ran for the sheer joy and excitement of the event, some ran for the fitness aspect. But no matter what the underlying purpose, many of you ran for a purpose – TO RAISE MONEY FOR A CAUSE! We at GiveIndia salute this spirit of all you people who believed that they could make a difference. Thank you, once again.
GiveIndia has had an overwhelming response from individuals and companies all seeking to make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged. More than 35 NGOs registered with us to be part of the fundraising at the event.
There were 3 different categories in which people could run for a cause:
1) As members of the Dream Team, 23 individuals committed to raise Rs. 1 lac or more each for a cause of their choice, 8 more than last year. They have collectively raised more than Rs. 35 lacs for charity (and more money is still coming in)
2) As a part of their company's Corporate Challenge Team, there were 46 companies bringing in a total of 58 teams (as opposed to 35 teams last year), each of them contributing Rs. 1.5 lac per team.
3) As a part of the Pledgers' United, there were several thousand individuals that ran and many who chose to run for a cause of their own choice. GiveIndia has distributed several hundred pledge kits to this group and their completed pledges have started flooding in.
So thank you Delhiites for making this a great opportunity to raise money for the cause you feel so strongly about.
