Million
Volunteer Run Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Million Volunteer Run 2?
What is the Million Volunteer Run 2?
The
Million Volunteer Run is a fruit of a successful first-ever Million
Volunteer Run last December 2011. The run was staged simultaneously
in 78 cities of the Philippines with a nationwide total of over
400,000 participating runners. With the incredible impact it has
created in the recruitment of volunteers for the Philippine Red Cross
(PRC), we have now declared it an annual event, thus, the Million
Volunteer 2 will take place on February 10, 2013.
What
is the goal of the run?
Our
goal is to train all our volunteers as humanitarian soldiers when
disaster strikes. In line with this effort to build the nation's
capacity to cope with life-threatening emergencies, the funds will be
raised for the Red Cross 143 Volunteers Training Program on disaster
management, equipping the Filipino communities with life-saving
tools. The Philippine Red Cross is completing its extensive network
of one million volunteers in order to deliver our services
effectively and successfully through this run.
