Volunteers
Language
Translation
English
certainly is a universal language! But, obviously, an event called "World Run Day" should be
communicated to all people - of all languages.
Our desire is to communicate this event in
as many languages as possible. The volunteers listed help us to assist runners
and charities in all corners of the world. They help make the event
complete!

Charity
Support
E-mailing and
talking
long-distance to Development Directors and Fundraisers, is quite rewarding. These
individuals are responsible for programs that bring needed dollars to their special
causes.
The enthusiasm and
cooperation in getting work done is a wonderful sight. Special care by
many people has gone into planning World
Run Day™.
Office
Support
To
support an event of this magnitude can be staggering. The staff at our Empire State
Building, New York City headquarters (350 5th Avenue) last year consisted of people that
collect/sort mail. It's a very small operation. Phone service is year-long
for the event using cellular
phone technology. We try our best to accommodate time-zone changes and
respond to e-mail within 48 hours. Thanks to Indro Neri of the site
www.runtheplanet.com for
banner design. Thanks to our friends at www.sysoft.com
as they all survived the WTC tragedy and continue to support
our results posting. Our hearts go out to those who are missing.
Most operations are based throughout

lands.
