Running Together: Adecco steps up for disadvantaged youth
3 June 2010
Adecco's Cairns branch will run (and walk) 10 km as part of the company's global Win4Youth initiative, designed to integrate youths into the workplace.
Win4Youth is a global initiative of the Adecco Group, which raises money to assist young people in difficultenvironments to integrate into work. For every five kilometres Adecco colleagues complete in groups of three ormore, the organisation will donate $5 to associated charities across the globe.
“Adecco believes in a better work, better life and initiatives like Win4Youth are just one way we can make this mottoa reality for the communities in which we work,” said Adecco Cairns Branch Manager, Rebecca Johnstone.
The Win4Youth initiative will culminate on 7th of November when selected Adecco colleagues from around the worldwill run the New York Marathon.
“One of our New Zealand colleagues, who has been picked to run in New York, is visiting Cairns and will run with uson Friday,” said Johnstone. “We are really looking forward to it – although it might be a challenge to keep up!”
The Adecco Group is encouraging all colleagues, their clients and their families to participate – whether they run,wheel chair or walk.
“The company really values team spirit and this is a great way for the branch to get together to contribute to a greatcause,” Johnstone said.
The Cairns branch will begin the run at 8am, stepping off from their offices at 320 Sheridan Street.
