betPawa has announced a sponsorship of UGX 10 million towards the Corporate Run 2025, a cause-driven event dedicated to improving maternal
healthcare in Uganda.
The Corporate Run, now in its second edition, will be held on 12th October 2025 at NEC FC Grounds in Bugolobi, under the theme “Run for Expectant
Mothers.
” Organized by the Corporate Games in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the run brings together thousands of corporate participants to promote fitness, networking, and awareness around non-communicable
diseases, while directly supporting expectant mothers in need.
The funds raised will go towards providing mama kits, valued at UGX 50,000 each, to underserved areas, ensuring safer deliveries.
This comes at a critical time, with statistics showing that 16 women in Uganda lose their lives every
day due to pregnancy-related complications.
Speaking about the sponsorship, Borah Ndanyungu, betPawa’s Head of Local Marketing & CSR, said,
“At betPawa, we believe no woman should lose her life while giving life.By supporting this initiative, we are proud to stand alongside thousands
of Ugandans to ensure expectant mothers receive the care and dignity
they deserve. This is what community empowerment through sport is all
about.
”
Presenting the cheque at the press conference was betPawa’s license partner, Allan Tumushabe, said:
‘We’re proud to support the Corporate Run because it proves that when we come together, whether on the track or off it, we can make a real difference.
”
This marks the second consecutive year that betPawa is supporting the
Corporate Run, with the company also fielding a team to actively take part in
the event.
With over 5,000 participants expected, the 2025 edition promises to be the
largest yet.
betPawa’s continued support underlines its long-term commitment to community development and its its belief in the power of sport to inspire positive change.
