Together for the winter: On Community Days 2024

12/23/2024

The On Community Days 2024 were a powerful demonstration of how solidarity and sport can foster integration, thanks to the collaboration between SPORTEGRATION and On.

Monday was all about solidarity: together with 22 On employees and 8 SPORTEGRATION members, we packed 200 winter kits for people in asylum centers across Switzerland. The kits contained essential winter items such as warm scarves, hats, and gloves – providing much-needed support for the cold season.

Tuesday was a sporting highlight. We were honored to spend the day with Tadesse Abraham, Switzerland's best marathon runner. After watching a moving documentary about his impressive career, we participated in a Q&A session where Tadesse shared his inspiring experiences. This was followed by a group run, giving participants a unique opportunity to learn from a pro and share stories.

A big thank you to On for organizing the Community Days and their Right To Run Social Impact Programs! These days have shown the incredible impact of collaboration between people from different backgrounds.

Let’s keep working together to make a positive difference – together we are better!
