Why do people Run…?
Different reasons that excite people…(DT)
• Personal commitment to a cause• The high of being able to make a difference
through social reach and healthier life-style• Achieving self-set targets• Success………achievement leads to
motivational leap!• Sometimes it takes another person or agency to
realize the potential existing in themselves to make a difference!
Some of the reasons for corporate enthusiasm…..
• For some, it is an excellent brand leveraging opportunity (they even time their media plans accordingly!)-mobile branding, choreographed race formation,message specific costumes (of the cause that you support or your direct business objective)
• Some see it as a motivational tool for their employees across hierarchy!
• For many others it is being leveraged as HR tool• Some make the opportunity an incentive for their
employee/vendors/distributors
Contd…
Yet others purely do it as a gesture of solidarity for their
chosen social cause!-CSR
We seek………..
• Your corporate participation………Please build a corporate team standing in support of us.
• It would be an absolute synergy if one of the top management people opt to run as a Dream Teamer along with the corporate team
• In both regard, we seek a window of ten minutes to come and make a presentation to your group.
Lets join hands…….
And make this event OUR EVENT…………..
Run in celebration of the spirit called life!
