Poland Business Run for people with motor disabilities

Genpact employees in Poland ran the Poland Business Run and raised $3,500 for the PBR Foundation to provide assistance to individuals with motor disabilities.
Running for people with motor disabilities
Genpact employees in Poland took part in the Poland Business Run, a large charity relay, and raised $3,500 for the Poland Business Run (PBR) Foundation. The money supports the Foundation's work providing comprehensive, professional assistance to individuals with motor disabilities, helping them lead more active lives.
What the Poland Business Run is
The Poland Business Run is one of the country's biggest charity relay events. It is run each year in a stationary format in Krakow alongside a global virtual format, and it exists specifically to help people with motor disabilities and people who have undergone mastectomy.
The funds raised are put to tangible use. According to the organisers, money from the run is used to purchase wheelchairs, prostheses, and specialised rehabilitation for beneficiaries — people with mobility impairments who often face high, recurring costs for the equipment and therapy that restore their independence.
- $3,500 raised by Genpact's Poland team for the PBR Foundation.
- Beneficiaries: individuals with motor disabilities.
- Use of funds: prosthetics, wheelchairs, and rehabilitation.
Part of Genpact's wider community work
The Poland Business Run is a small, local entry in a much larger corporate social responsibility portfolio. In the same reporting period, Genpact ran flagship programs such as its Meals for Many anti-hunger initiative and its pro-bono Better World Initiative, and its CSR activities collectively engaged well over 100,000 volunteer participants. The Poland run reflects the same pattern at country level: employees choosing a local cause and turning up for it as a team.
Why it matters
Charity runs are modest in dollar terms, and this one is honestly small — $3,500 will not transform a foundation's budget. Its value is different. It ties a global company's local workforce to a cause that is highly specific and highly practical, and it does so through participation rather than a cheque signed at head office. For people with motor disabilities, the outcomes the PBR Foundation funds — a prosthesis, a wheelchair, a course of rehabilitation — are the difference between dependence and mobility, which places the effort squarely within the goals of good health and wellbeing (SDG 3) and reduced inequalities (SDG 10).
