ELGi Equipments, listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE: 522074) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE: ELGIEQUIP), has been a key partner of the Coimbatore Marathon for the past decade. This enduring collaboration has not only transformed the fitness landscape in Coimbatore but has also played a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by cancer, a prevalent health issue.
The Coimbatore Marathon, conceived as a platform to spotlight cancer awareness, serves as a rallying point for the community. With an expected participation of over 18,500 runners in the 2023 edition, the marathon has become a symbol of unity among individuals passionate about running, walking, fitness, and general well-being.
The collaboration between ELGi Equipments and the Coimbatore Marathon has significantly contributed to the efforts of the Coimbatore Cancer Foundation (CCF). Over the years, the marathon’s proceeds have facilitated the expansion of CCF’s critical activities, including cancer screening, counseling services, and support groups. These initiatives aim to make essential services accessible to a larger segment of the population.
Notably, the funds generated from the marathon have played a pivotal role in enhancing financial aid to cancer patients. The support extends to covering various aspects of cancer treatment, such as surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, diagnostic tests, hospital fees, and rehabilitation services. ELGi Equipments’ sponsorship of the Coimbatore Marathon has thus become synonymous with cancer awareness and support for those affected in the region.
ELGi’s marathon aligns with its broader mission to create a positive impact on the health and well-being of its employees, channel partners, and the communities it serves globally. By powering such significant events, the company underscores the importance of corporate responsibility in promoting a sustainable and healthy living environment.
