Addis Ababa is set to host a significant fundraising event aimed at promoting kidney health and offering hope to those in need. Mary Joy Ethiopia, a prominent local charitable organization, has announced the finalization of preparations for its "Kidney Health, Life Hope" street run, scheduled for Ginbot 16, 2018, according to the Ethiopian calendar. This date corresponds to May 24, 2026, in the Gregorian calendar.
The charity run will commence at 7:00 AM local time (1:00 AM Ethiopian time) from Kazanchis Urael, a well-known area in the heart of Addis Ababa. Participants will then follow a new route, culminating their journey towards Wollo Sefer, traversing some of the city's bustling streets. The event is designed not only to raise vital funds but also to heighten public awareness about kidney health and the importance of early detection and care.
Mary Joy Ethiopia is extending an open invitation to both individuals and corporate entities to join this noble cause. The organization is urging supporters to demonstrate their solidarity by purchasing specially designed T-shirts for the event. These T-shirts serve as a symbol of commitment to the cause and a direct contribution to the fundraising efforts.
To encourage broader participation and corporate social responsibility, Mary Joy Ethiopia has outlined attractive incentives for organizations. Companies that purchase more than 200 T-shirts will receive special recognition. Their corporate logo will be prominently printed on the purchased T-shirts, reflecting the scale of their support. Additionally, these organizations will be provided with 10 complimentary T-shirts. Their names will be acknowledged during a dedicated gratitude program, and their involvement will be highlighted across various mainstream and social media platforms throughout the duration of the run program, ensuring significant public visibility.
The T-shirts are priced at 600 Ethiopian Birr for adults and 400 Ethiopian Birr for children, making participation accessible to families and individuals alike. All proceeds from T-shirt sales will directly support Mary Joy Ethiopia's initiatives in kidney health, including awareness campaigns, patient support programs, and potentially facilitating access to medical care for those suffering from kidney-related ailments.
Mary Joy Ethiopia, known for its commitment to community welfare, emphasizes the collective impact of such events. The organization operates under the inspiring motto, "I always receive when I give," reflecting its philosophy of reciprocal generosity and community empowerment.
For those interested in purchasing T-shirts or wishing to contribute to Mary Joy Ethiopia's mission through financial donations or material support, the organization has provided dedicated contact lines: 09-05-44-44-47 and 09-62-00-37-77.
