Suntech Business Solutions, under its corporate social responsibility scheme, is organising the SunTec Run 2008 in association with the National Institute of Speech and Hearing (NISH).
"With a sense of responsibility towards the society and a special sensitivity towards children and education, SunTec as a conscious corporate continues to contribute its fair share," said Nanda Kumar, president of SunTec, in a statement here Wednesday.
The four-kilometre run will see participation of children and parents of NISH, SunTec's employees and celebrities from various walks of life.
