An Initiative By
The Mission of the United Sisters Foundation is to encourage, motivate and facilitate a greater understanding of the importance of mental, physical and emotional health and well being to individuals, families and all levels and sections of society.
The Vision of the United Sisters Foundation is to empower women across the country coming together on one platform to actively contribute to a positive movement of change.
The Agenda of the United Sisters Foundation is to organize community activities, fund raisers and awareness drives to support and promote all women’s causes.
Now in its 3rd year, the SBI Pinkathon, organised by the United Sisters Foundation and conceived as more than just a running event, will see a participation of more than 60,000 women across 8 cities. Right from the start, the Pinkathon was developed more as a community project to spread awareness of the importance of an active lifestyle for women and health issues that put women’s lives at risk.
At the core of this pan India project is the run in each city, built around which are year round training sessions, free offers of medical check ups and mammograms for all participants, training work shops and counselling sessions for various marginalised communities and even a symbolic planting of 1000 trees in each city to make a stronger connection between the health of each individual and the health of the environment.
Another green initiative is to encourage the participants to make the eco friendly choice of drinking from a reusable cup rather than a disposable plastic bottle on the route. These initiatives, developed by the United Sisters Foundation, are unique to the SBIPinkathon and are not practised in any other running event in the country.
The inclusive and empowering nature of this project has encouraged an unprecedented response from women across the length and breadth of the country, from Delhi to Chennai and Mumbai to Guwahati. Even though the focus is more on community building, the SBIPinkathon sets the standard for other running events, whether it is participant feedback, social media activation, community outreach, eco friendly/green initiatives or professional management.
