Bursa Malaysia Berhad will reignite its flagship capital market charity run, the 7th edition of the Bursa Bull Charge on 8 October 2023 (Sunday) in Kuala Lumpur’s central business district.
“We are delighted to bring back the Bursa Bull Charge after a 3-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. BBC2023 has the objective of raising awareness on the consequences of climate change, and serving as a catalyst to inspire proactive climate action measure among Malaysian capital market stakeholders. The funds generated through the event will be channelled towards impactful projects dedicated to climate action or environmental protection,” said Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia.
The BBC2023 welcomes participation from all companies and will have two categories of entries: the 1.5km CEO Run and the 5.0km individual run, with over 1000 runners expected to participate. Registration starts from RM10,000 per team of four, with a requirement of at least one female runner per team. Each registered team will be entitled to a complimentary slot for a CEO or C-suite representative in the 1.5km category.
Aside from participating via running team(s), companies have the opportunity to become sponsors of the event. Various sponsorship packages are available, each with a different degree of commitment and benefits. The sponsorship packages include monetary contributions ranging from RM5,000 to RM88,000. Alternatively, companies can support the event as in-kind sponsors.
Since its inception in 2014, the Bursa Bull Charge has garnered participation from over 11,000 runners, raising and disbursing nearly RM15 million to support more than 150 beneficiaries and improve the lives of marginalised communities. In the previous edition, BBC2019, RM1.8 million was donated, benefitting 15 beneficiaries.
