Run gathers P200T for street children

With almost 4,000 runners in attendance, the SM2SM Run II was able to gather P200,000 for Cebu City’s street children.

A check was handed by Marissa Fernan, vice president of SM Prime Holdings Inc. and Dr. Yong Larrazabal of Run for Sight Foundation to City Councilor Margot Osmeña, chairperson of the Cebu City Task Force on Street Children during the awarding of winners at the SM City Cebu Northwing Atrium.

“I want to thank SM and Dr. Yong Larrazabal for choosing the task force as beneficiary of this run. Your donation will go a long way to help feed and provide shelter to the street children of Cebu City,” said the former Cebu City first lady.

The task force is an umbrella organization of 27 child-caring member-agencies in Cebu City.

It is now embarking on a youth career development program aimed at improving the lives of the young underprivileged people.

Dubbed to be one of the biggest running events in Cebu, the SM2SM Run II was organized last Feb. 12 by SM City Cebu and Run for Sight Foundation Inc.
