On Sunday, 09.18.2016. at the Kapucinski square in Varazdin, our employees collected donations through their participation in the 22nd Varazdin Half Marathon, to help the Association for Autism \u201cPOGLED\u201d from Nedeli\u0161\u0107e within the \u201ePRESS GLASS -Run and support\u201c campaign. The company PRESS GLASS d.o.o. continued the tradition of their Polish colleagues, and was the largest organized team in the race.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal of our campaign is supporting of charity, helping local community and thereby encouraging our employees to be actively involved in sports. This was the first race in the series through which the company PRESS GLASS d.o.o. donates funds to the ones most in need \u201c- says local coordinator of the campaign, Zrinka \u010ci\u0107.<\/p>\n
Our first race in the \u201cPRESS GLASS -Run and support\u201d campaign in Croatia was supported by 32 runners from companies Press Glass d.o.o. and as moral, friendship and financial support by 24 runners from Press Glass SA in Poland. The core underlying elements of the campaign are the propagation of sports activities through running and providing financial support to the selected charity. The idea of \u201cPRESS GLASS \u2013 Run and support\u201d campaign arose by our staff and colleagues from Poland, who spend their free time running, and has been developed with the intention to combine an active lifestyle and love of helping the needy. Each employee of PRESS GLASS can join the campaign \u2013 those who are already engaged in running, those who intend to start running, and those who are looking for new adventures.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur campaign is very popular among employees of company PRESS GLASS; therefore, it was extended beyond Poland. As a result, people who run often get the opportunity to turn their passion for running into a support to those who need it \u201c- explains one of the organizers of the original campaign in Poland, Gerard Plaze.<\/p>\n
