HNC Club and Surendra Pathare Foundation Launch ‘Run for a Cause’ Weekend Initiative to Engage Youth and Gen Z
Pune, 5th July 2026: Hybrid Nation Club (HNC), in collaboration with the Surendra Pathare Foundation, has launched “Run for a Cause,” a weekly Sunday awareness run aimed at encouraging youth and Gen Z across East Pune to combine fitness with social responsibility.
The inaugural edition, dedicated to water conservation, witnessed the participation of over 150 students, fitness enthusiasts, volunteers, and community members who turned up with great enthusiasm despite persistent rainfall.
The event began with a warm-up and Zumba session, followed by an awareness run through the streets of Kharadi. Participants carried placards with messages including “Every Drop Counts,” “Conserve Water, Conserve Nature,” and “A Drop Saved, A Future Secured,” promoting responsible water usage and environmental awareness.
Despite the heavy rain, participants completed the run with remarkable enthusiasm, highlighting the importance of collective action for social and environmental causes. The event concluded with a community gathering and appreciation ceremony.
The organizers announced that “Run for a Cause” will now be held every Sunday, with each edition dedicated to a different social cause such as environmental conservation, public health, road safety, women’s empowerment, civic responsibility, and community welfare. The initiative aims to build a culture of volunteerism while promoting fitness and community engagement among young citizens.
“We don’t just run for fitness; we run for a cause. Every Sunday, we want to bring together the youth of East Pune to create awareness, inspire action, and become active partners in building a better society,” said the HNC Club Team.
