FIVE CHARITY ORGANISATIONS TO BENEFIT FROM STANDARD CHARTERED KL MARATHON
KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- The organisers of the Standard Chartered
Kuala Lumpur Marathon, scheduled on June 27, hope to collect RM1 million
(US$312,355) for charity through the "Run For A Cause" slogan.
"The proceeds from the run will be distributed to five charity
organisations, namely the Malaysian Association for the Blind, Malaysian AIDS
Foundation, Malaysian National Cancer Council, Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam and
Yayasan Amanah Standard Chartered," the event's advisor Dr Ibrahim
Saad told reporters here Thursday.
Ibrahim said the event was not just a sporting event but rather a platform
for corporate bodies in the country to fulfill their social obligations.
A number of artists and celebrities including A. Thanuja (Miss
World/Malaysia), Fahrin Ahmad, Aishah Sinclair, Amy Mastura, Zainal Abidin would
be among those invited, he said.
