Happy FM/Lakeside Marina Park has fulfilled its promise of donating a quarter (25%) of all proceeds from the annually held Fun Fun Run and Walk to Mercy Social Center to support the welfare of children under their care.
The annual Happy FM/Lakeside Marina Park Family Fun Run and Walk is a 6KM and 10KM event held on March 6 each year to celebrate Ghana’s independence day and most importantly, generate funds to support the Mercy Social Centre.
HappyFM/ Lakeside Marina Park donated to items worth thousands of cedis to the Mercy Social Centre(MSC)at Lakeside Estate.
Food items, toiletries, packs of drinks and water, and a variety of items were presented to the orphans. Additionally, generous contributions from sponsors such as Twellium Industries (Verna Water) and Everpack (paper products) have further boosted the fundraising efforts.
In a show of support for the event and its cause, the Kalmoni Foundation also donated sports gear and provided a training coach to support the award-winning top Junior Running School Team.
“We are thrilled to see the Lakeside Estate community come together for such a meaningful cause.“ The Family Fun Run is not just about promoting health and fitness but also about making a positive impact in the lives of the less privileged,” Salah Kweku Kalmoni, Director of Lakeside Estates motioned.
