Salesforce Run Gurgaon Marathon 2024 – Uniting for a Greater Cause
Salesforce Pledges INR 2 Crore Towards Child Education and Greenification
Gurgaon : The third edition of the Salesforce Run Marathon kicked off in Gurgaon, bringing together Trailblazers, including Salesforce employees, Futureforce interns, customers, and partners, united in their shared mission to foster a brighter, more connected future. Following the tremendous success of last year, this initiative is a testament to Salesforce’s dedication to well-being, social responsibility, and community building, with participants running to support Child Education and Greenification.
This year, Salesforce aims to raise INR 2 crore for two crucial causes: Child Education and Greenification. In collaboration with the Antarang Foundation and Green Yatra, Salesforce seeks to make a meaningful impact in these areas. As part of the initiative, a two-month-long pre-run campaign was organised, during which Salesforce employees engaged in virtual competitions, logging their daily runs in a city-wise manner. So far, more than 3.5 lakh kilometres of pre-run activities have been recorded, achieving half of the pledge target even before the main event.
Speaking about the event, Sanket Atal, Managing Director of India Operations and Technology at Salesforce, remarked, “Salesforce Run’s growth is a testament to our company’s values in action. Our employees’ passion and commitment to well-being and giving back is remarkable. Every stride fuels positive change, and I’m excited to see our collective efforts yield remarkable results. We’re on track to surpass our goals and make this run a memorable milestone.”
Priya Agrawal, Founder and Director, Antarang Foundation commented, “We ensure that every young adult, regardless of their background, is aware of and ready to enter career pathways of their choice. Through this partnership with Salesforce India, 25,000 students from Mumbai’s government-run schools will enter career pathways of their choice. We are thrilled to be part of the Salesforce Run and celebrate the partnership.”
The Gurgaon leg marks the beginning of a series of nationwide events, with the Salesforce Run scheduled to continue across four additional cities—Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, and Mumbai—in the coming weeks.
