KL Rat Race 2009
The Edge and Bursa Malaysia are once again co-organisers for this unique event which benefits the needy. Donations collected from participating local and foreign companies in Malaysia will be channelled towards beneficiaries involved in various causes. Last year, some 140 teams took time out to run and helped raise over RM1.5 to RM1.7 million for 20 charitable organisations.
This year’s Race will also have 20 beneficiaries, which will be announced in the coming weeks. Charitable organisations interested in being one of the selected beneficiaries may apply by downloading this form and submitting it back to us by May 22nd.
So Corporate Malaysia, forget about the rat race we are in, just for one day, and join in a rat race of a different kind! Give some time to charity after office hours this Aug 11. Besides being for a good cause, this event also gives executives a good excuse to leave the office early!The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race® is supported by Yayasan Bursa Malaysia, the foundation arm of Bursa Malaysia. The Federal Territory Amateur Athletics Association (FTAAA) provides technical support.
