We are proud to\u00a0announce that our employees have just completed another successful year of the PRESS GLASS \u201cRun and Support\u201d campaign. It was a\u00a0significant year \u2013 the campaign expanded to raise money for charity in\u00a0individual races. In addition, it went beyond Polish borders and for the first time, Polish employees could run together with PRESS GLASS d.o.o. staff in\u00a0Croatia. What was our race schedule? How much did we manage to raise for charity? It is time we summed up all of our last year\u2019s races.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We started the running season in April with a\u00a0group run in\u00a0the 8th Cz\u0119stochowa 10K Run. The team consisted of 60 people and the money we raised (almost PLN 6,400) was donated to three children in need \u2013 Emilek Koryczan, Micha\u0142 Bajerski and\u00a0Olek Sukiennik.<\/p>\n

Two months later, 19 PRESS GLASS employees took part in the 4th Radomsko Street Run. Despite the heat, all managed to finish the 10K run and the money we raised (PLN 950) was donated to the\u00a0\u201cKoniczynka\u201d Association of Parents and Guardians of the Disabled in\u00a0Radomsko.<\/p>\n

Since groups of employees take part in runs organised near the locations of our facilities, we could not have missed the runs in\u00a0Tychy, Tczew and Vara\u017edin.<\/p>\n

In September, we participated in two group runs in\u00a0Tychy. 14 PRESS GLASS employees took part in two races: the 5th Half Marathon (21 kilometres) and the 21st International Street Race (10\u00a0kilometres). In total, we managed to raise PLN 1,540, which was donated for the treatment of Mi\u0142osz Kleinschmidt.<\/p>\n

September was also marked by a breakthrough in the \u201cRun and Support\u201d group races. Together with PRESS GLASS d.o.o. employees in\u00a0Croatia, the PRESS GLASS team ran a half marathon and a 5K run in Vara\u017edin. The joint Polish and Croatian race attracted 61 employees and turned out to be very successful \u2013 we collected HRK 20,400 (approx. PLN 11,800), which we donated to the Croatian POGLED Association for children with autism.<\/p>\n

Helping others can be contagious and \u2013 what is most important \u2013 it knows no boundaries. The joint Polish and Croatian race in Vara\u017edin increased the\u00a0appetite of our Croatian team for\u00a0helping others. In\u00a0October, 10 PRESS GLASS d.o.o. employees took part in\u00a0two individual races in\u00a0Zagreb: a 5K run and a\u00a0marathon. The money they raised (HRK 2,130) was donated to Jan Ciapek, struggling with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The group races ended in\u00a0November with the 10K Sambor Street Run in Tczew. Our team consisted of 39 runners and raised PLN 2,730. The money was donated to\u00a0the\u00a0Tczew Special Education Facilities. In November, we also took part in a special group race for\u00a0Franek Szewczyk in\u00a0S\u0142owik. The 5K run, with some unusual rules, was completed by 6 PRESS GLASS employees. The money raised (PLN 420) was donated for the treatment of Franek, the son of one of our employees.<\/p>\n

All \u201cRun and Support\u201d group races raised a\u00a0total of approx. PLN 25,000, which was given to charity.<\/p>\n

Our race calendar was also full of\u00a0additional individual runs. We wanted to help even more \u2013 and taking part in group races was not enough for\u00a0PRESS GLASS employees. That is why in May, we added individual runs to the \u201cRun and Support\u201d campaign. Throughout the year, 27 employees participated in 41 races organised at 34 locations all over Poland. In total, they covered 1,330\u00a0kilometres and raised PLN\u00a04,275. We donated the funds to 4 charitable organisations:<\/p>\n
