Virtual Charity Event 2020
Compete to raise money and awareness
Join your colleagues around the world
-
For the first time ever, we will be encouraging Hitachi Capital staff around the world to participate in a virtual charity event.
Great, what's the event?
The virtual event is accessible for all Hitachi Capital staff across UK, United States and the Netherlands. Each participant will be required to complete a 5km run or walk between 14 - 27 September 2020. You can do it in the great outdoors, on a running machine, on your own or as part of a team. Then send us over a picture - it can be anything you want, whether that’s a screen shot from your fitness app/Strava, a selfie whilst running or even just the scenery if you’re camera shy.
How do I sign up?
Visit our JustGiving page and donate a minimum of £5 to take part in the initiative. All funds will be matched by HCUK and donated to our chosen charity, Genetic Disorders UK, a charity who provide information and support to all those affected by genetic disorders. The charity estimates that there are over 2.4m children and adults living with a genetic disorder in the UK, and we want to do our bit to continue supporting this fantastic charity.
Get involved
