FICCI FLO  concludes 5th Pune FLO Half Marathon  

FICCI FLO Pune Chapter concluded 5th Pune FLO Half Marathon “Run for Empowerment” which witnessed participation of 9000.  This is the flagship fundraiser event of Pune Chapter and the funds it generates go towards social projects and initiatives of the chapter focussed towards women empowerment.

This year, Pune FLO Half Marathon was accredited and certified with AIMS and under the aegis of PDAA. This international certification entitles the FLO Pune Half Marathon to be a qualifier run in the fraternity of Marathons across the world.

Funds generated from this year’s Marathon will be deployed for initiatives of women empowerment with special focus on support to women farmers in Osmanabad, for starting the bee cultivation program as well as connecting women farmers to food processing and manufacturing organisations. This will enable these ladies to earn their  livelihood and be financially stable. Furthermore, providing vocational training to the girls of ITI Girls College and conducting a short course on geriatric care with Tata Strive is on the anvil. Phase 2 of the cancer vaccination program will also be boosted with these funds along with Rotary clubs.
