Corporate Challenge For Children



"Bucharest Business Week", October 1998

Nibbles off the grapevine

Eight staff members of BBW limped into this newspaper's offices Friday morning foot-sore but with grins of satisfaction spread across their faces.

Journalists, editors and marketing staff had joined more than 300 brave and athletic souls who braved the weather last Thursday evening to gather for the inaugural "Corporate Challenge for Children" 5km run organized by Gina Christensen Florescu; wife of John Florescu, and Saatchi & Saatchi. Despite the cool temperatures, the affair was a warm and convivial affair. Special thank-you goes to Connex, who showed how mobile it can be, Home Box Office, Henkel, ABN-Amro, led by a flu-ridden Henk Mulder, and Perrier - AnaVie who led the donations league by giving more than 2,000 USD to a worthy cause - the Princess Margarita of Romania Foundation.

Winners of the event were:

- Men:
1st Anton Dumitrescu (ABN-Amro),
2nd Traian Geana (Pegasus).

- Women:
1st Alexandra Gheorghe (Saatchi & Saatchi).

- International Company:
1st Connex (Snatenchuk, Burjhila, Tutunaru and Cummings).

- Fastest Romanian Company:
1st Pegasus (Geana, Mihai, Porfir and Gray-Cheape).

- Fastest Organization:

Nike provided gift certificates for the winners. The awards were made by Princess Margarita and Mayor Lis.
