Walk for a Cause: A Community Month Highlight
On June 22, 2024, Radisson Blu Hotel Pune Kharadi hosted the South Asia Walkathon by RHG, a key
event of their Community Month initiative. This event highlighted by the Brand’s dedication to social
responsibility, uniting team members, their families, friends, and corporate partners for a noble
cause. With over 117 hotels, Radisson epitomizes opulence and leading hospitality, blending modern
elegance with offering world-class amenities. Community Month celebrates giving back, with
Radisson properties across India engaging in clean-up drives, educational programs, health camps,
and charity fundraisers. This initiative showcases Radisson's commitment to sustainability and
community engagement, fostering bonds and promoting a culture of care and support.
The RHG South Asia Walkathon was a key event during Community Month, organized by Radisson Blu
Hotel Pune Kharadi in association with Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Alibaug and Radisson Blu Plaza
Resort & Convention Center Karjat. This event was supported by several partners, including Kuber
Events, 91.1 FM Radio, International Institute of Hotel Management Pune, Salon A’fair, Rotary Club
Pune, Nucleus Gym Kharadi, and Motherhood Hospital Kharadi.
The 5 km walkathon, starting from Radisson Blu Hotel Pune Kharadi and looping back from the World
Trade Center, brought together a diverse group of participants, including hotel team members, their
families, friends, corporate colleagues, local social groups, sports enthusiasts, college students, and
senior citizens. The event commenced at 6 am, with participants arriving as early as 5:15 am at the
hotel's alfresco area for registration, showcasing high enthusiasm. Specially designed T-shirts and
BIBs were distributed to all participants. The morning kicked off with an energetic Zumba session,
followed by the official flag-off by Chief Guest- Mr. Sanjay Borde at 6:30 am. The walkathon saw
around 300 participants setting off with great excitement. To ensure everyone stayed hydrated, five
refreshment counters were placed along the route. Within an hour, participants returned to the hotel
for a cool-down session. Some enjoyed a hearty breakfast from the live counters, while others sipped
on ginger tea and juices. Many captured memories with photos, collected their completion medals,
and received goodie bags. A felicitation ceremony honoured the sponsors for their support, and 25
lucky draws provided exciting prizes for the participants, rounding off a successful and memorable
event.
All registration fees collected from participants were directed to support the Radisson India
Charitable Foundation, demonstrating the event's commitment to fundraising for meaningful causes.
Mr. Pankaj Saxena, General Manager of Radisson Blu Hotel Pune Kharadi, remarked, "The walkathon
was more than just a physical activity; it was a testament to our brand's dedication to community
involvement and support." The event, bolstered by the contributions of various partners, was a
resounding success. Saxena added, "It was great to witness such enthusiastic participation from
everyone involved."

reinforcing the values of community, sustainability, and social responsibility that the Radisson Hotel
Group holds dear. By uniting guests, team members, and their families for a common cause, Radisson
