How to Get Involved

Thanks to increasing awareness and the selfless efforts of its supporters, FIT for Charity Run has grown exponentially each year in terms of participants and funds donated. Furthermore, the organisation and execution of the FIT for Charity Run is done on a volunteer basis by professionals working in Tokyo’s financial community.

There are several ways to be involved with the event; please look below for more information or contact us at application@fitforcharity.org.

Your firm’s name or logo will be displayed on the FIT for Charity Run 2008 T-shirt and website. The FIT logo can be displayed on your corporate website, and with your firm’s name or logo in banner space and booth space. Your corporate donation and those of your company’s employees (participants, volunteers, etc.) will be added to determine the top three fundraising teams.

Raffle tickets are sold for JPY 500 on the day of the event, with the proceeds benefiting the selected charities. You can display the FIT logo on your corporate website, and your firm’s name or logo in banner space and boot space. Your names will be announced at the prize giving and/or raffle events. Contact us at application@fitforcharity.org if you have questions about how or what you may donate to the event.

Other

Some of the positions in the event’s management have been staffed by the same individuals for more than one event, but most are open to new people each year, as we often find ourselves short-handed across the board. Also, as the event grows in size and complexity, preparations are beginning further ahead of time. We welcome volunteers for both longer-term administrative/planning positions and short-term task-based positions.
