Marathon Participation Update

Published on June 2, 2025

We originally planned to create an ICAA group to run in the marathon and raise funds for the IC Alumni Scholarship Fund. However, we found out that the ICPC were already participating and running to support the Neonate Fund. Since they choose a different cause every year, we decided to join forces with them so there wouldn’t be two separate IC groups.

During the marathon, I made small ICAA flags that we waved while running. This helped us stand out, and several IC alumni noticed us and approached us along the way—we even took pictures with some of them, including Nawwaf Salam!

Looking ahead to next year, we're thinking of dedicating our efforts to the IC Alumni Scholarship Fund. To do that, we’ll need to attend the NGO coordination conference and meet certain criteria. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to prepare for that this year, and since ICPC was already active, it made more sense to unite under one cause.
