In our region, the Run for IT! fundraising event is considered well-known, almost traditional.

However, this year due to the pandemic situation, we were prepared to cancel this famous event. But when we asked the NGO representatives and the runners about the run, they strongly encouraged us not to back down. Thus, for the 9th time, the OSCF is organizing this fundraising sports event again this year, which will help raise the necessary funds for the efforts of the local NGOs.

It is gonna be the best Run for IT!

This year’s change is that there will be no joint run. On October 11th, all the ambassadors will run / walk in different locations, but all at the same time.

Just like in the previous years, anyone has the opportunity to get involved, as an NGO representative, ambassador (runner), donor (individual, business), or volunteer.

Due to the current epidemiological situation, we would like to encourage all the non-governmental organizations to consider with special attention what goals and projects are they supporting. We should pay attention to the global changes and, if possible, offer a solution to them with our projects. At the same time, we encourage cooperation between non-governmental organizations, in order to make the progress even more effective.

What You Need To Know…

  • Our goal is to help NGOs raise donations for their community projects.
  • More and more people would like to be involved in this program, so in order to maintain and strengthen the main objective, we continue to recommend the following option:
    • We encourage NGOs to recruit ambassadors from other locations as well, within or outside the country, who will raise awareness of the community issues and be able to attract donations from all over the country.
  • We emphasize that the event itself is a fundraising run, different from the crowd run, the runners are also ambassadors for the chosen affairs.
  • On August 17th from 10 a.m. and from 5 p.m. we invite the representatives of the interested non-governmental organizations to a meeting at the headquarters of OSCF (pre-registration is required at fussneki@szka.org at this e-mail address).
  • News related to the program will be published on the Fuss Neki! facebook page and at the Fuss Neki! 2020 facebook event.
  • This year, instead of laps, ambassadors will take kilometers when running.

  • if the NGO accepts my application, I will register online as an ambassador (www.fussneki.ro), then upload a digital photo and pay the application fee (35 RON) by the given deadline
