CALLING SPONSORSHIP FOR BBGV 17TH ANNUAL FUN RUN FOR CHARITY

It is time for the BBGV Annual Fun Run for Charity again. This annual event allows you to have fun with your co-workers, friends and family and also participate in an event which raises much needed funding for disadvantaged people throughout Vietnam.
 
Since the first Fun Run which took place in 2000 the BBGV has raised almost 9 billion VND to benefit charities throughout Vietnam. Over the years some 85,000 people have taken part in this exciting high profile event. This year the BBGV Fun Run will be held on Sunday 24th September in Phu My Hung. We expect around 10,000 runners to take part again and our aim is to raise 1 billion VND that will support charitable Vietnamese causes. In order to meet this goal, we are asking for sponsorships from local businesses. By giving/taking part in this annual event you’ll be providing your staff with a great team building opportunity and also most importantly, helping BBGV to assist the most disadvantaged in the local community as well.  Please see the attachment for details of the different packages available.
 
The BBGV contributes to projects which cover a wide range of charitable fields. We give priority to projects which meet the needs of disadvantaged children and the elderly and also to projects that have an educational dimension. The most recent projects we supported were Partage Vietnam and Green Viet, for all projects we have supported please click here for more details.

There has been a significant increase in the number of dengue fever cases; the majority of cases are in southern Vietnam, but there has also been a sharp increase in the number of cases in the north, especially Hanoi; you should follow the advice of the National Travel Health Network and Centre.
