Star Alliance to Host 25th Anniversary Charity Run in Aid of Covid-19 Healthcare Heroes (media release)

To cap off its 25th anniversary celebrations, Star Alliance will host a charity run in Singapore on October 9, 2022 in support of healthcare workers responding to Covid-19. Registration is now open online. Participants will not only contribute to a worthy cause, but also stand a chance to win thrilling travel rewards for themselves. The Star Alliance Run will be unique. Unlike other runs which recognise and reward only the fastest participants, here every eligible participant who finishes the run will stand a chance to win exciting travel prizes. These include business class tickets on Star Alliance member airlines, hotel stays and airport lounge access. Proceeds from the event will be channelled by Community Chest towards supporting front line healthcare workers under The Courage Fund and the Healthcare Humanity Awards to recognise the bravery and dedication of healthcare workers in Singapore. The awards were first given out in 2003 during the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak and have continued till today, with recent editions focused on the contributions of healthcare workers contributing to the fight against Covid-19. Announcing the run, Star Alliance CEO Jeffrey Goh said: "For 25 years, Star Alliance has connected people and cultures across the world. This mission remains the same, even as the world slowly recovers from the pandemic. In the past two years, the selfless labour, resilience, and grit of front line healthcare workers has been critical in protecting our communities, helping us live with the virus, and making the safe resumption of travel possible. That’s why we feel a charity run that supports our healthcare heroes is a meaningful way to cap off Star Alliance’s 25th anniversary celebrations. This event will also allow us to give back to the community. "<br/>
