The FPT Corporation organised a charity race called ‘FPT - Happy Run’ in Da Nang on Sunday, aiming to celebrate its 35^th birthday, and the 13^th anniversary of the ‘FPT for the community’ Day.

The running race aimed to spread a healthy lifestyle, and fitness and sports spirit.

With the message themed ‘FPT 35 years - Happy footprints’, the running race attracted the participation of 3,500 people who were staff of the FPT Corporation and their families, and sports lovers citywide.

For each registration fee of VND100,000/runner, FPT Corporation donated an additional VND1million. As a result, a total of more than VND3.5 billion was raised for the Hope Fund's ‘Light of School’ programme.

The charity programme will focus on building new schools and upgrading downgraded ones, as well as donating books and teaching materials for schools in disadvantaged areas, and granting scholarships to children with special circumstances across the country.
