NITES RunKuching: Sarawak Energy Berhad has stepped in as the main sponsor to partner with ourYouth.my to provide the “power” for the eagerly anticipated KuchingNITES Run on Oct 13 at the Kuching Integrated Recreational Centre (KIRC) here.
“Education and Young People” is one of the key focus areas of our overall CSR strategy” says Joanne Tan Cho Yian, Manager Social Investment at Sarawak Energy at the mock cheque presentation ceremony. Sarawak Energy is sponsoring RM60,000 for the event.
“To-date, we have received 1,260 entries and we expect more entries to come. It is very encouraging that the general public especially the youths are very keen to be involved this run. We do hope that the NGOs in Sarawak could also organise more activities that promote healthy lifestyle. This is also in line with our objective to get more of our youths to engage in volunteerism,” according to the organising chairman Dato Patrick Liew who is an active sport personality.
Sarawak Energy has pledged a participation of 300 entries and will form a contingent of Sarawak Energy team members who live and love an active lifestyle. Sarawak Energy has an active Sports Club that engages in various activities throughout the year.
Many Sports Club members as well as other employees are raring to go and participate in this exciting event.
“We are very excited about the upcoming KuchingNITES Run and expect a big turn-out at the event. Our members have shown keen interest and the key message that we want to send to everyone is that Sarawak Energy promotes healthy living and camaraderie. See you at the finish line!” says Sulaiman Abdul Hamid, president of Sarawak Energy Sports Club, who is also the Head of Finance for Sarawak Energy.
