#Throwback : 11th ROASTERS Chicken Run (RCR)
星期日, 五月 31, 2015
Enthusiastic participants
from all walks of life flooded the grounds of Sunway Lagoon as early as 6.30 am
in the morning, followed by an energetic warm-up session together with the Celebrity
Fitness team before they proceed with the run according to their respective
categories!
“RCR has
always been one of our many significant events and seeing its success to date,
it is absolutely worth the effort when Malaysians are equally supportive of the
cause. This year, through the amount of RM 66,000 raised from the event, we are
glad to share that KRR will be reaching to a larger number of the needy ones by
providing them nutritious wholesome meals as well as donating funds to various
organizations through Food Aid Foundation,” commented Dato’ Francis Lee, Group
Executive Director of Berjaya ROASTERS (M) Sdn Bhd.
“I’m glad to
be here today to show my gratitude and support to this meaningful event. We
appreciate the generosity from KRR and fellow Malaysians, who are selflessly
here with us today in support of the foundation. With the contributions
garnered from the event, we will certainly be able to extend our arms to a
greater number of homes and provide them with more nutritious food supplies,” expressed
Rick Chee, founder of Food Aid Foundation, at the charity run yesterday.
Funds from the
ROASTERS Chicken Run 2015 will be contributed to Food Aid Foundation through
2,000 sets of Kenny’s Chicken Meals to approximately 20 charitable homes for
both the young and old. Meanwhile, the remaining funds will be utilized to
purchase ingredients and groceries to other homes which are also supported by
Food Aid Foundation.
