Larian Kardio Sponsorship Update

I promised that the sponsorship update would be posted yesterday - apologies for the delay.

Here it is :
Corporate cash contributions & pledges from 28 sponsors = MYR164,300.00.

Contributions in kind : products, services, T-shirts, goodie bags, freebies, printed materials, performances etc valued at approximately MYR180,000.00 from 23 corporate and individual sponsors. However, contributions in kind do not add to the Larian Kardio fund - so sad...

But we are just as grateful to these generous sponsors because they make Larian Kardio and the Health Awareness Fair more attractive to the public and to visitors.


We have more than 800 runners registered for Larian Kardio from among the public and students. However, we have received fees from only about 300 of these participants so far, but we hope that more of them will send in their cheques, money orders, bank drafts or pay in cash at Unit Hasil, Ground Floor, Menara Utama, UMMC in the coming days.

Public (MYR15 per person) and students' (MYR10 per person) contribution to the fund for needy heart patients is roughly MYR3,500.00.

In total we have about MYR347,800 in all types of contributions and pledges, but only the MYR167,800 in cash can be counted towards the Larian Kardio fund.

Our target
is to raise MYR500,000 in aid of underprivileged heart patients. We are MYR332,200 short - that's a long way to go.

You can help!

Spread the word on Larian Kardio and the Health Awareness Fair to
  • corporate sponsors
  • individual runners
  • your company's sports club
  • your gym members
  • your family
  • your friends
  • your neighbors
  • any association that you might be a member of

If you haven't registered for Larian Kardio, don't wait any longer - do it now.

Lots of needy heart patients can gain a longer life through your help.
